IcedTea with gcc 4.3 and Minimum JDK version

[Michael Franz]

I think that somehow the bootstrap part is not working for me.  The classes
that are being compiled are Java 7 and depend on Java 7.  I patched my
String issue, but now I am getting a problem with
sun/tools/java/MethodSet.java requiring the Java 7 version of Collections.

1. ERROR in hotspot-tools/sun/tools/java/MethodSet.java (at line 188)
        return Collections.emptyIterator();
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The method emptyIterator() is undefined for the type Collections

Are there major changes between icedtea 1.5 and icedtea 1.6?  I was using a
pre-1.6 version of icedtea that had some patches that made things easier for
me.
