I don't know because you don't give enough information here.  We
at least need config.log and what is being used in bootstrap/jdk1.6.0.

At a guess, it looks like you're using a bootstrap JDK that has newer
classes than the one being built.

The second stage of the build builds the JDK again with itself, so that
is regularly tested.
