The "install" target is probably in need of a lot of TLC. I wouldn't be
surprised if it has bit-rotted. However, in all normal circumstances,
running it *will* require root/sudo credentials -- the whole point is to
install the newly built JDK into a system-wide location.
The suggested commands for doing this is:
> bash configure --prefix=...
> make all
> sudo make install
so that you don't run more of the build than necessary as root. Also
note that, in theory, you should be able to select another location
using the build-in autoconf --prefix option. If you select a path
writable by your user, you will not require the sudo part. I'm not sure
how well tested that is, though.
