Sorry about that, email got jacked up.
 
Yeah, I tried to execute the command by hand in a script.  I just get 
some other different errors.  The thing is, I shouldn't have the first 
error.  If other people can install it, why can't I?  In theory this is 
what I'm trying to do on a fresh install.  Of course I'm having some 
problems with installing the new world, but once I get passed that maybe 
it will work?  If someone sees something that I'm missing, please point 
it out.

Install FreeBSD 5.4 on AMD64. 
1.Create /root/current-supfile 
*default host=cvsup7.freebsd.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
ports-all tag=.
src-all
2. Update ports and source files. 
 
# cvsup /root/current-supfile
 
3. Create package database. 
# pkgdb -F
 
4. Upgrade installed ports. 
# portupgrade -arR
 
5. Rebuild world and kernel, boot in single user mode. GENERIC kernel will have all correct options for Linux binary support. 
 
# boot –s
# fsck –p
# mount –u /
# mount –a –t ufs
# swapon –a
# adjkerntz –i
# cd /usr/src
# make buildworld
# make buildkernel
# make installkernel
6. Reboot into single user mode (boot –s)
# fsck –p
# mount –u /
# mount –a –t ufs
# swapon –a
# cd /etc
# mergemaster –p
# make installworld
# mergemaster
# reboot
 
7. Add to /etc/fstab: 
 
linprocfs /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0
 
8. Add to /etc/make.conf: 
 
WITH_LIB32=YES
 
9. Acquire all related Java source, binaries, and patch files.  Make sure they are all executable by user and group, then copy to /usr/ports/distfiles. 
10. Navigate to /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14. 
 
# make
# make install
# make clean
# make distclean
11. Test java: 
 
# java -version
12. Navigate to /usr/ports/java/jdk15. 
 
# make
# make install

Have you tried jdk15 on FreeBSD 6.x??

Also if i were you, i'd ask some "popular" person from java at freebsd
to login to your machine and have a close look.

Also, what about the actual shell command that caused the execve() 
error??
