I have just updated my workspace with the changes from JDK7.0-b14 and tried to rebuild it on linux. The build process crashed while processing the directory make/sun/javac/recompile/library:

HotSpot log file is placed into the corresponding directory (also attached to the bug report).
The same situation is with another my workspace and workspaces of other AWT members. I tried to change the bootdir to 5u11, 6u1 or 7.0-b10, but always got a crash. I only was able to build the workspace with USE_ONLY_BOOTDIR_TOOLS flag set to TRUE, but the build was broken (java -version crashed). After a build on windows platform, the build is also not workable.
