You can run with jtreg directly like this:
  $ jtreg -jdk:$JAVA7X_HOME test/java/dyn/
  $ jtreg -jdk:$JAVA7X_HOME test/java/dyn/InvokeDynamicPrintArgs.java

...and so on.

Sometimes, when working with an incremental rebuild of the jdk stuff I do it this way:
  $ jtreg -vmoption:-Xbootclasspath/p:$DAVINCI/patches/netbeans/meth/dist/meth.jar -jdk:$JAVA7X_HOME test/java/dyn

The makefile runs jtreg in a similar way.

My first suspicion is a conflict between patches.  Maybe meth-conv-6939861.patch is bit-rotted.
