OpenJDK rebuilding on windows takes a long time

[Kelly O'Hair]

You are pointing at the fastdebug jdk as your boot jdk, why?

The official boot jdk for jdk8 is jdk7u7 we cannot guarantee anything else will work, although it should,
when tracking down issues like this, you need to narrow down all the possible differences.

I have no idea at this time what the 'sync state' is with the awt team forest.
My recommendation would be to clone the official jdk8/jdk8 forest, which can be assumed to work since
RE should have built it, or any integrator pushing changes into it should have built it.
Create 2 forests of so you can do separate experiments on each.

Then do the build from the root with a 7u7 jdk in your PATH (no need for the --with-boot-jdk option).
Do a build without --enable-sjavac on one forest, then with it on the other.
