Boot JDK requirements for 8 ?

[Bharadwaj Yadavalli]

I also see the same message while building OpenJDK on Mac 10.7.5. I 
specified
7u9 as my boot JDK while running configure. I then ran 'make 
NEWBUILD=true all' to build.
I made sure that there is no other JDK installed on the machine.

Does anyone know the reason (and consequently a fix) for this?

Thanks,

Bharadwaj
