Indeed, it might be not. This looks like what I've seen a long while
ago, when sun-jdk/openjdk was too old even on platforms where it
existed.

Do I understand correctly, that building depends on openjdk (or rather
said, on a JDK which supports java 1.5 or newer, or 1.6 or newer), so
therefore it worked until now since the kfreebsd-* builders only built
the arch-specific package? And you're trying to build all packages, not
just binary ones, so that's why I fails?

I wonder if the resulting JAR file built on (e.g.) amd64 works fine on a
machine which doesn't have openjdk.

Finally: maybe this should be split as a different bug; the gcc-4.7 fix
is good (much appreciated!), so I can upload that soon.

thanks,
