Hi Olivier, OpenJDK does indeed require java to build, but that aside there is the issue that HotSpot does not support the sh4 processor. Check out IcedTea instead (http://icedtea.classpath.org/) which has a) the ability to bootstrap with gcj, and b) support for building on platforms with no HotSpot support.
