Yes, JDK build instructions are out of scope for this readme; you 
obviously would need all JDK prerequisites in place to build MLVM.

Ahh, I ran into that too. Use bash; I guess there are some bashisms in 
those scripts. The readme should be updated.

I dunno about your compilation errors; are you able to build the JDK at 
all? If it's a problem just building JDK you might want to hop on one of 
the OpenJDK lists to ask. I'm unfortunately far from being an expert. 
What platform? What GCC version?

I'm hoping to publish a blog with step-by-step instructions from zero to 
running MLVM soon. Hopefully I will find the time to do so.
