Interesting...

I tried replicating this on Ubuntu 7.04 and ran into a couple issues.

First, the .jar files for Xerces and Xalan seem to be constructed on 
Ubuntu differently than the configure script assumes.  So I did this:

    root at dherron:/usr/share/java# ln -s libgcj-4.1.jar libgcj-4.1.2.jar
    root at dherron:/usr/share/java# ln -s xalan2.jar xalan-j2.jar
    root at dherron:/usr/share/java# ln -s xalan2.jar xalan-j2-serializer.jar
    root at dherron:/usr/share/java# ln -s xercesImpl.jar xerces-j2.jar

I looked and xalan2.jar has a package providing classes named 
Serializer* so I assume that's what you meant to use.

Next thing is when I ran "make" it downloaded the b12 source bundle.  
We're already on b13, b14 should occur "soon", etc.  I noticed there's 
an option to configure to specify an openjdk source tree, so will this 
icedtea thing work against an arbitrary openjdk source tree?

Finally, after letting it go ahead and download and unpack b12, the 
"make" got to this error, and died:

    mkdir -p bootstrap/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/ext
    /usr/bin/jar cf bootstrap/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/ext/sunjce_provider.jar
    *'c' flag requires manifest or input files to be specified!*
