I've built OpenJDK on Fedora in the past (and we regularly do to
create the RPMs).  As I recall, SELinux was an issue previously
(Andrew Haley may know more on this), but AFAIK I have it turned on
and haven't experienced problems.  In fact, there are SELinux
workarounds in hotspot/make/linux/makefiles/vm.make.
