Build Problem

[Kelly O'Hair]

You really aren't providing enough information to go on here.

As of now, building 32bit requires a 32bit OS, and  building 64bit requires a 64bit OS.
The amd64 is a 64bit library, the i386 is a 32bit library, these libraries will not mix at runtime.

So there are lots of facts you are leaving out here:
  * What OS are you using (specific version arch distro etc.)
  * What is the make command line you are using
  * Have you looked at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
