This mail arrives at an opportune time.  I've just discovered that if
I build openjdk6 with clang (on head/amd64), the resultant jdk SEGV's
if I again try to build openjdk6.  If I build it with "USE_GCC=any"
then the problem goes away.

I don't have the time to investigate further but forcing the use of gcc
instead of clang is at least a workaround.
