For the first time, I've been trying a full complete build of OpenJDK
(full open+closed forest.)
I'm building on Ubuntu, and the build has now failed a second time
because of a missing command -- or more specifically, a command which
is not installed by default. The first command was msgfmt, the latest
was bb. I do not know if there are more to come.
It would be nice if make sanity had a mechanism for a quick existence
check for commands that are likely to be required during the build, so
that missing commands can be detected and reported early, and not
one at a time at the end of a long build.

sudo apt-get build-dep openjdk-6
should get you the necessary build dependencies installed.
