If you're trying to build the native jdk15, you don't actually have to use 
linux at all.  Install the amd64 version of the diablo-jdk15 port; then apply 
the following patch to java/jdk15/Makefile and build jdk15:

(That probably isn't the cleanest way to do that; but it's a simple 
copy-and-paste with a one-word replacement; which reduces the chances of 
introducing a typo. And it does allow for the possibility of [hopefully 
temporary] divergence between the amd64 and i386 version numbers on the diablo 
port.)


I haven't yet tested the result thoroughly; but it builds OK and seems to 
work...
