For your first java/jdk14 build you first need to have a linux-jdk14
installed, and active (ie linuxalator on, linprocfs mounted) to act as a
bootstrap compiler. Once the native jdk14 has been built and
installed, you can remove linux-jdk14 and its dependancies. Any
further jdk14 builds will use the native jdk14 as its bootstrap
compiler.

Cheers.
