I see. So I basically get the same result as downloading
the package from freebsdfoundation.org (which is not what
I want).

But it's only required for the bootstrap, right?
I.e. when I have built the JDK successfully, I don't
need compat6x anymore, I assume.
Thinking about it ... When I compile my own JDK anyway,
I could just as well go for the JDK 1.6 instead of 1.5.
Are there any known problems with building JDK 1.6 on
FreeBSD/amd64 7.0? Anything I should be aware of?
The JDK is going to be used on several 8-core amd64
machines with 64 GB RAM to run tomcat-based CMS for a
very busy web site. No need to say, stability is top-
priority.
Best regards
