It's going to be hard.  Red Hat Linux 6 is an old-school LinuxThreads
target, and I'm not sure that it would be a good idea to run a
statically compiled version of HotSpot on such a beast.  However,
older versions of the JVM did run on that system, so I suppose you
have a chance.  But it makes far more sense to try building on the
target system than to cross-compile.
