It's entirely likely that I misunderstood, but I think the output of "sh ./configure -help"
could be made less ambiguous.  I would ordinarily expect "make help" to inform me of
relevant EVs for running make.

Running generated-configure.sh
`configure' configures OpenJDK jdk8 to adapt to many kinds of systems.

Usage: ./common/autoconf/configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...

To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE.  See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.
...
(below)
Some influential environment variables:
  PKG_CONFIG  path to pkg-config utility
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  LIBS        libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
  CPPFLAGS    (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
              you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CXX         C++ compiler command
  CXXFLAGS    C++ compiler flags
  OBJC        Objective C compiler command
  OBJCFLAGS   Objective C compiler flags
  CPP         C preprocessor
  CXXCPP      C++ preprocessor
  XMKMF       Path to xmkmf, Makefile generator for X Window System
  FREETYPE2_CFLAGS
              C compiler flags for FREETYPE2, overriding pkg-config
  FREETYPE2_LIBS
              linker flags for FREETYPE2, overriding pkg-config
  ALSA_CFLAGS C compiler flags for ALSA, overriding pkg-config
  ALSA_LIBS   linker flags for ALSA, overriding pkg-config

Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
