icedtea6 cannot compile itself

Seriously?  Not enough information?

I'm following the instructions on
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/icedtea6.html
It instructs me to download icedtea6-1.9.7 binary and use it to
compile icedtea6-1.9.7 from source.  I tried using the exact downloads
that that page links to, and get errors that some methods have the
same erasure as others, and the compilation fails (see my original
message).  I tried using newer downloads, with the same types of
errors, but a different number of them.

If I don't know what files to download to get a successful compilation,
would you please send me a list of the correct ones?  Thank you.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/icedtea6
Installation of IcedTea6

The instructions below install both the binary and source versions.
You may stop after installing the binary version or continue on
installing the source version. You can choose to keep either or both.
IcedTea6 Binary Installation

Begin by extracting the appropriate binary tarball and changing to the
extracted dirctory. Install the binary IcedTea6 with the following
commands as the root user:

cp -R j2sdk-image /opt/icedtea6-1.9.7-bin &&
chown -R root:root /opt/icedtea6-1.9.7-bin

Configure the temporary IcedTea6 installation with the following commands:

export PATH_HOLD="${PATH}" &&
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/icedtea6-1.9.7-bin" &&
export CLASSPATH=".:/usr/share/java" &&
export PATH="${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin"

The binary version is now installed. If you don't want to compile the
sources, skip ahead to the configuration section.
IcedTea6 Source Installation
[Note]
Note

The source build of IcedTea6 requires Apache Ant-1.8.1. You'll need to
build that first to satisfy the reciprocal dependency, and return to
this section to continue building IcedTea6.

Like other packages in BLFS, begin by extracting the IcedTea6 source
package and changing into the extracted dirctory.

IcedTea6 requires several freely available jar files for the bootstrap
compiler. You may leave these items in place after the build is
complete, as they will be needed by other programs, or remove them if
you choose. You can optionally choose not to install them at all, and
provide the necessary configure options to find the files. Install the
necessary tools with the following commands as the root user:

mkdir jarfiles &&
cd jarfiles &&
unzip ../../rhino1_7R2.zip &&
unzip ../../xalan-j_2_7_1-bin.zip &&
unzip ../../Xerces-J-bin.2.11.0.zip &&
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/java &&
install -v -m755 rhino1_7R2/*.jar /usr/share/java &&
install -v -m755 xalan-j_2_7_1/*.jar /usr/share/java &&
install -v -m755 xerces-2_11_0/*.jar /usr/share/java &&
install -v -m755 ../../ecj-3.6.1.jar /usr/share/java &&
ln -s ecj-3.6.1.jar /usr/share/java/ecj.jar &&
ln -s xalan.jar /usr/share/java/xalan2.jar &&
cd .. &&
rm -r jarfiles

IcedTea6 is composed of several individual components of the
proprietary JDK that have been relicensed under an open source
license. Put all of the individual components into the source tree
with the following commands:

mkdir drops &&
cp -v ../jdk6-jaf-b20.zip drops/ &&
cp -v ../jdk6-jaxp-b20.zip drops/ &&
cp -v ../jdk6-jaxws-b20.zip drops/ &&
cp -v ../openjdk-6-src-b20-21_jun_2010.tar.gz .

Apply a patch to allow building with an installed IcedTea6 as the bootstrap JDK:

patch -Np1 -i ../icedtea6-1.9.7-upstream_fixes-1.patch

Apply a patch to generate a valid cacerts file using the system CA certificates:

patch -Np1 -i ../icedtea6-1.9.7-generate_cacerts-1.patch

Apply a patch to fix the build when using a newer version of Xerces2:

patch -Np1 -i ../icedtea6-1.9.7-xerces2_10-1.patch

Apply a patch to replace fixed paths with ones appropriate for BLFS:

patch -Np1 -i ../icedtea6-1.9.7-fixed_paths-1.patch

Configure and build the package with the following commands:

unset JAVA_HOME &&
./autogen.sh &&
./configure --with-jdk-home=/opt/icedtea6-1.9.7-bin \
            --enable-cacerts \
            --disable-plugin \
            --disable-webstart &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. The included version of jtreg
is old, and the test suite is also very dependent on the host system.
You should expect to see 6 or 7 failures and 1 error in the langtools
tests, and 20 to 23 failures in jdk with up to 3 errors. The other
4700+ tests should pass. The reason for the variable results is due to
different architechtures, versions of dependent libraries, and even
the CA certificates used to generate the cacerts file.

Install the package with the following commands as the root user:

cp -R openjdk.build/j2sdk-image /opt/icedtea6-1.9.7 &&
chown -R root:root /opt/icedtea6-1.9.7
