I just bootstrapped OpenJDK (b13) from my IcedTea (b12).  It was a
simple matter of applying icedtea/icedtea-copy-plugs.patch to
openjdk-7-ea-src-b13-24_may_2007 and then building as usual.

Like this:

 cd /local/openjdk-7-ea-src-b13-24_may_2007
 patch -p1 < /local/icedtea/icedtea-copy-plugs.patch
 ln -s /local/icedtea/bootstrap/jdk1.6.0/ .
 ln -s /local/icedtea/bootstrap/jdk1.7.0 .
 export ALT_CLOSED_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=/local/openjdk-7-ea-src-b13-24_may_2007/jdk1.7.0/
 export ALT_BOOTDIR=/local/openjdk-7-ea-src-b13-24_may_2007/jdk1.6.0/

 cd control/make
 make
