You can cut that down to:

export ALT_BOOTDIR=/home/ce/Programme/jdk7b75/
export PATH=$PATH:/home/ce/Development/tools/apache-ant-1.6.5/bin/
export ALT_OUTPUTDIR=/home/ce/jdk2d_try/jdk/build/linux-i586

make

You don't need binary plugs or any of these import statements, and
they are probably confusing things.
