Build succeeds even if JDK source file fails to compile

I filed CR 7122235 for this issue.
Forcing a compile time error of a JDK class by inserting some bad code
is just ignored and the build continues, and appears to complete
successfully.
I believe the changes for CR 7116322 "enhance javac make rule with a
little bit of instrumentation", caused this problem.
Changeset for 7116322:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/43a630f11af6
After the javac cmd is run there is a simple echo to indicate 'javac
finished'. I am not a makefile expert, but I think the makefiles are
checking the return code for this directive/rule and now will always see
the successful return code of the echo, so it will never fail.
Example:
# Running javac: 18 files; in
