Testing OpenJDK under Windows 7 64, problem with Makefile

[Daniel López]

This happens trying to test Java 8 following the instructions described in
http://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/BuildWindows that I thought
were related to the new system and then trying to test the installation
using the instructions provided here
http://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/InstallJtreg.

Is this the old system of testing the jdk? The building itself succeeds,
it's the test Makefile that gives me troubles (OpenJDK/jdk8_tl/jdk/test) to
be precise.
Nevertheless, I'll try to build the make from the sources and see if that
also fixes it.

Thanks,
D.
