It's hard to tell what's happening here without more details as to how
you're building.  Posting config.log would be very helpful.

If you're building icedtea6 directly against an openjdk6 checkout, rather
than the default of using release tarballs, this will happen as the security
patches are already applied in OpenJDK6 upstream.  For hg, you
need the hg branch:

http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6-hg

Going forward, I doubt this will work as OpenJDK6 doesn't have the *BSD work
that Oracle have integrated for Mac OS X.  You might be better starting from
7.  6 is likely to end up having to be retired by the end of the year anyway,
as Oracle intend to stop security support.
