What were the 'usual commands', and where did you run them?  Were you 
running make on the hotspot makefiles directly?


With the new build-infra makefiles, running make a second time from the 
top level should be very fast and only recompile the pieces you need.  
You also get the benefit that your build environment has been checked 
over by configure before starting.

The build is looking for a bootstrap JDK, and 
/java/re/j2se/1.7.0/latest/binaries/... is the default location, which 
won't work for you.

In section 10 "Cheat sheet" on this page:

Search for '|--with-boot-jdk'
