Your choices are:
1. Install linux-sun-jdk14 (or another Linux JDK 1.4).
2. Install a jdk14 package for FreeBSD 6.x and also install misc/compat6x.
3. Hack on the jdk14 source until gcc 4.x is happy with it (many of the
changes you need to make will show up in the jdk15 source). The main
issue is the HotSpot C++ code.
4. Hack on the jdk14 source so that it can be compiled with a compiler
whose executable is called e.g. gcc34/g++34 rather than gcc/g++ and make
the port depend on an older gcc port on 7.x.
