Strange, configure should fail if you do --enable-shark and there is no LLVM.

not sure how you managed to build without these, they turn off the
proprietary garbage

> patches/icedtea-headers.patch
> patches/icedtea-libraries.patch

These fix the build to use external versions of libjpeg, zlib, libpng, freetype.
Without these patches, you'll be using the in-tree copies which have
known security issues and will decay over time.

This suggests you need some additional cases for the Mac OS linker/gcc.

These suggest a dated build drop used by the BSD port.

It's discardMark() and yes, this is new in b42 IIRC.  I suggest the
BSD team look at updating their tree.
