The error you experience are probably related to the version of javac 
you are using.
Could you please post the output from
/home/neale/icedtea-1.9/bootstrap/jdk1.6.0/bin/javac -version

I would recommended you to try compile Icedtea6-1.4.1 (openjdk 6) before 
trying to compile icedtea-1.9 (openjdk 7)
Icedtea6 are more easy to compile and don't require the latest and 
greatest compilers.
Icedtea6 are also more tested and stable thus it is the version most 
people prefer and are the version shipped with most linux distributions 
today.
