When building below the top level, for some reason a partial build
directory is being created in jdk8/jdk.  When doing a full build from
the top level the only build directory I see is the one in jdk8.  It
appears that ../../../build/... is using the build under jdk rather than
the build under the top level.

Tonight I saw a similar failure when trying to rebuild JLabel.java from jdk:

make[2]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/OpenJDK/jdk8/jdk/make/javax/swing'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `javax/swing/JLabel', needed by
`../../../build/windows-i586/tmp/com/javax.swing/.classes.list'.  Stop.

and when trying to build directly at .../jdk/make/javax/swing, i.e.

make: *** No rule to make target `javax/swing/JLabel', needed by
`../../../build/windows-i586/tmp/com/javax.swing/.classes.list'.  Stop.

In case it's helpful jdk/build contains these directories:
bin
btbins
btclasses
btjars
classes
gensrc
include
lib
