JDK 8 Build Failure

[Kelly O'Hair]

The official boot jdk for jdk8 is jdk7u7. It is unclear what jdk7 update you have. Newer should be fine,
and it's quite possible that older ones could work too, but officially, for RE/JPRT builds, we use 7u7.

I have never had good luck using the OEL 5 systems, the gcc is too old, but have never used OEL 6.
And I have never used the distro jdk7's as a boot jdk, but in theory they should work.

My tendency would be to install an Oracle jdk7u7, and try that, see if we can at least isolate it to some
kind of boot jdk issue.
