JDK8 32-bit "docs" build fails on 64-bit Windows

[Ivan Krylov]

Hi Ulf.

The links below point to variables that contain info on what jvm we're building. Volker's questions was about the bootstrap vm.
Using file-like  util seems a better option because it simply parses the ELF header of the execulable (or COFF in case of windows) and we don't want 
to start jvm an extra time to find this bit of information.

Thanks,
Ivan
