No. You failed to provide any information on the host distribution, the 
build environment, configure arguments, etc. Building a large project 
such as IcedTea from source is a big undertaking, with many options. You 
need to first make certain that your build environment is at least 
relatively sane, something that we are unable to determine without you 
providing the information necessary to make that determination.

In the future, please first direct support questions to a related 
support list for your distribution. In this case, since your question is 
related to BLFS instructions, you should first try the BLFS suport list 
at blfs-support at linuxfromscratch.org so that they can be evaluated by 
the appropriate support community before requesting help from upstream 
developers. If the inquiry is relevant to the upstream developers, you 
will be directed there by the support community. The build errors and 
the last few lines of make's output prior to any error should be 
sufficient context to assist in determining a build problem for most 
projects. The complete output of the 'set' command might also be a 
useful first step toward evaluating your build environment.
