Compiling Hotspot w/o dependencies

[J K]

Can hotspot be compiled on Linux (32 or 64bit) without the dependencies documented in openjdk/README-builds.html ?

I work at a company with restrictive IT policies and new software versions are prohibited.

1. http://www.java.net/download/openjdk/jdk7/promoted/b54/openjdk-7-ea-src-b54-09_apr_2009.zip
2. unzip
3. cd openjdk
4. make

…
