The base module only needs the VM (C++ code).   The hotspot Java code 
(SA) will be compiled in step 3 as they are in other modules.

It would depend if the native libraries for the base module have any 
static dependencies on the "new" symbols exported in the VM.  We have 
been doing this kind of synchronized hotspot/jdk change by integrating 
the hotspot change first and then integrate the jdk change in the next 
promoted build and the jdk native libs can link against the new hotspot VM.
