Kaffe currently can't build 1.6. The version we have is just not up to the task. 1.7 might be able to build 1.6. There are bootstrap jdk version checks that I think I loosened so that it could work. I haven't tried it since 1.7 needs 1.6 to bootstrap and using 1.7 to bootstrap 1.6 would be a circular dependency. It could be done with a PSEUDO_FLAVOR though.
