Congratulations!  You've got the hsdis build working just fine now.

Your problems are due to bad options to the JVM.  The CompileCommand, like 
most of the other options, takes -XX: prefix.  Also, PrintAssembly makes all 
assembly print out; try omitting it and just including the PrintAssembly.

I would air questions like this on hotspot-dev, since they are about use of 
the JVM.  Also, please consider contributing to the wiki, fixing errors or 
incomplete explanations that caused you problems, and/or adding useful hints 
for the next person.
