It looks like somehow a rule is being run that isn't intended to ever
actually be built.  In libjava/Makefile.am there are these dummy rules
copied and pasted for all the various tools.

## This is a dummy definition.
grmiregistry_SOURCES =
grmiregistry_LDFLAGS = --main=gnu.classpath.tools.rmiregistry.Main \
        -rpath $(toolexeclibdir) -shared-libgcc $(THREADLDFLAGS)
$(extra_ldflags)
grmiregistry_LINK = $(GCJLINK)
## See jv_convert_LDADD.
grmiregistry_LDADD = -L$(here)/.libs libgcj-tools.la
grmiregistry_DEPENDENCIES = libgcj-tools.la

Note that the _SOURCES is empty, which is why the link fails I guess. 
But these rules aren't supposed to be run as far as I can tell, because
instead the binary .class files are checked into the tree and there are
wrapper scripts that invoke the JVM with them.  See
libjava/classpath/tools/*.in.  These wrappers should all have been
created at the end of the classpath configure script execution.  Are
those wrappers not created for you?
