Build of jdk-7udev: Error occurred during initialization of VM

[Kelly O'Hair]

It is my understanding that the latest invoke dynamic hotspot/jdk changes has created a situation
where you need to build the entire jdk forest or have an import jdk7 that has these new apis or whatever
the dependency is.

I don't build jdk7 updates much anymore, but somebody should be providing some guidance here
to the developers on how to deal with this, it's out of my control.

Good luck.
