build failure - IDL files?

[Kelly O'Hair]

I have to assume you are doing a build from the j2se/make directory?
Or did a 'gnumake j2se'?

If that is the case, then you are actually doing a partial jdk build and some
components will need to come from a previous full build of a jdk7.
This looks like you failed to define ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH, which should refer to a
previously built jdk7.

But not knowing how you started the makefile makes it very hard to figure out.
