not patches/boot/hotspot is missing, but patches/hotspot, which are referenced
when ALT_HSBUILD is set:

# Conditional patches

if WITH_ALT_HSBUILD
ICEDTEA_PATCHES += \
        patches/hotspot/$(HSBUILD)/7089790-bsd_port.patch \
        patches/hotspot/$(HSBUILD)/7098194-macosx_port.patch \
        patches/hotspot/$(HSBUILD)/7116189-setnativethreadname.patch \
        patches/hotspot/$(HSBUILD)/6924259-string_offset.patch \
        patches/hotspot/$(HSBUILD)/revert_arm_debug.patch
endif
