The problem was with the stamps/extra-class-files.stamp target.  As you
note, this target requires Launcher.class, among other things.
Interestingly, it appears that this target does not run on ecj builds.
However, I don't think my system is updated enough to do an ecj build.

I was able to successfuly do a --with-icedtea build after removing the
extra-lib/about.jar target, which depends on
stamps/extra-class-files.stamp.  The built IcedTea7 contains
Launcher.class (though I'm not sure when in the build this gets
compiled), so I was able to use this to build unmodified latest hg.
