Subject: trying to build Sun Java 1.6 for MIPS ... problems

I am trying to build the Java 1.6 "jre" for MIPS/Linux, but 
have problems even with generation of the IcedTea.
First of all, is it needed to generate the IcedTea? Or there 
are other ways to generate Java "jre" for MIPS?

I have installed a Debian system version 5.0.1 and run it under 
QEMU/mipsel.
Tried to follow the IcedTea building instructions from 
http://iced-tea.org/wiki/DebianBuildingInstructions
but there is an endless sequence of various missing packages 
and features.
Currently my "./configure --with-ecj" for the IcedTea complains 
about missing
   No package 'mozilla-js' found
   No package 'mozilla-plugin' found
   No package 'libxul-unstable' found
But let's assume I will solve this problem as well.

The general question: Am I following the right path at all?
Maybe there is a ready-to-be-used Java 1.6 for MIPS available 
already and I am just wasting time trying to build it?
Any hints and/or information will be highly appreciated.
