These methods are indeed missing from gcj / GNU Classpath at present:

http://fuseyism.com/japi/icedtea6-classpath.html#err_missing_javax_net_ssl

Two pieces of information you didn't provide:

1.  What version of IcedTea are you trying to build (if Mercurial, which repository+changeset)?
2.  Output of configure (config.log).

My guess is that the newer ecj in Fedora is not building SSLEngine/SSLContext from OpenJDK
during the rt-class-files.stamp stage, whereas the older one is.  We can fix this by explicitly
checking if the method is missing and building SSLContext/SSLEngine if so.
