The JLabel issue was caused by the existence of
...\jdk\src\share\classes\javax\swing\JLabel - Copy.java.  (This is
Windows' scheme for copies.).  However, that wouldn't explain the use of
a build directory under jdk (instead of under the top level), i.e. my
original problem might have been caused by using the wrong build dir:

make: *** No rule to make target
`../../../build/windows-i586/btjars/compileproperties.jar', needed by
`compile_all_props'.  Stop.
