Does the Linux JDK 1.2.2 that you installed without any problems actually
work? The above lines appear to indicate that it does not and that the
binaries need branding. Can you actually do a "java -version" with it?

Does this JDK actually work for you?

Note that this warning is part of the Sun sources. In this case you must
get the Linux JDK you have working, and then the native port will be able
to build. You cannot just delete ALT_BOOTDIR as then it will assume a
default place for the bootstrap compiler as below (a place which doesn't
exist!).

Brandelf the Linux JDK binaries and see how things go.
