I had that problem going from early 6 to 6.0_RC1.

Failing step 2, you might want to start fresh (rm -rf objdir tooldir 
releasedir).

I think that adding the -r flag to build.sh will do that as well:

$ ./build.sh -r -x -O ../obj -T ../tools -U distribution

from perusing the output of ' ./build.sh -h | less '.
