It would really help if you could provide the config.log from your build so
we know what you're building.  At the moment, it seems people are just making
best guesses.

IcedTea 7 HEAD & 2.4 both have the fix, but the former won't have the latest
security updates yet.  I'll be updating java-overlay in Gentoo with ebuilds
for the new releases once they're finalised.
