jdk 8 building just jdk

[Pete Brunet]

Hi Mike, Thanks.  Below are my build times (prior to a crash in jdk). 
I'm running 64 bit Win 7 on a 2.53 GHz dual core 8 GB Lenovo T500.  I'm
using cygwin.

langtools: 4:34
hotspot: 18:29
corba: 2:51
jaxp: 5:31
jaxws: 10:26
jdk: failed

So I'm up to about 40 min with just those.  Are you running cygwin or
MinGW/MSYS?

Pete
