I haven't seen this one before.

There isn't a "make install" for IcedTea or OpenJDK, you just run it
from the build directory.  When I'm debugging I usually use the ecj
build, to save waiting forever for a full build to complete.  So, the
first time around I do "make icedtea-against-ecj" to build everything,
then after that, when I change things I do "make hotspot" which
rebuilds only HotSpot.
