If the OpenJDK7 javadoc from /opt/jdk/1.7.0 is being used, then yes it
won't fail.  IcedTea also passes because it builds the docs in the
second build using the javadoc of the first build.

Maybe the solution is to set the bootclasspath to point to the newly
built libraries.  You should be able to build the documentation
without having to have an existing 1.7 build around (there's an
obvious bootstrapping problem there for one).
