OK.

My understanding is that the build dependency is:
jamvm -> classpath
i.e the classpath package needs to be built/installed before we build
the jamvm package. If that's the case, then I would keep the "select
BR2_PACKAGE_CLASSPATH" in jamvm/Config.in, but get rid of the "depends
on BR2_PACKAGE_JAMVM" in classpath/Config.in.
Peter, you're the one who added classpath originally (commit
5062f530081913bd0487f0f879be180f30836ab8) including this "depends on
BR2_PACKAGE_JAMVM" dependency. What do you think ?
