	I can't build it either (on 5.1), but I'm getting different
symptoms.
	I have linux compatibility; I have linprocfs mounted.  I run
"make" and get:

===>   jdk-nodebug-1.4.1p3_3 depends on executable: gm4 - found
===>   jdk-nodebug-1.4.1p3_3 depends on executable: zip - found

# Start of jdk build
bsd i586 1.4.1-p3 build started: 03-09-21 13:04

	... and there it hangs, for 16+ hours on my P$/2/2ghx.  "top"
shows two (linux) java processes running.
	This is not right.  I mailed the maintainer, and got no
response.  Doesn anyone here have a clue as to what's broken?
