icedtea can build an intermediate jdk, usually using gcj or ecj, and
only after that, uses it to build the real jdk. I think that's the
default behavior. It is controlled by --disable-bootstrap. The
purposes of this intermediate step are to purge the resulting binaries
of all proprietary stuff that might have crept in, and also to
facilitate building on platforms where there was no Sun-provided JDK.

make patch
looks more promising ;)
