I have had this problem with jdk-1.4, and tried various things to get around it. 
  One thing I tried was to press control C, and then start the make again.  This 
worked sometimes, but often ended in some error later on.

What I have found that works conistently is to first remove all other versions 
of java (including jdk-1.3 and any linux-jdk's and diablo things), and then 
start the make of jdk-1.4.

Since this works, I haven't researched it any more, but my guess is that at some 
point a wrong version of linux-jdk gets used.
