Security fixes are back; other fixes can go in. Time for build 18?

Why not? I happen to have a system install of OpenJDK7 m5 and not
OpenJDK6 at present - the reason for that is exactly because you can't
install 7 and then use it to build 6.  I've since been able to build
OpenJDK6 using a recent build of IcedTea6 (which uses gcj to build).
But surely 7 should be able to build 6?
