openjdk6 fails to build - jobs issue?

[R Skinner]

I'm trying to build openjdk6 but it is failing as well. Can someone 
confirm if I'm seeing gmake[x] if this is running as parallel jobs? I'm 
running every invocation I can find to prevent it 
(MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=true, DISABLE_MAKE_JOBS, env settings), but it insists...

Its possible something may have changed with the variables, but can't be 
sure and I don't believe so; at any rate it fails compiling 'hotspot'. I 
get output with gmake[6], gmake[5], gmake[4]...

sorry I can't be clearer, its on a different machine not on the network.

Cheers
