I never encountered this error, what is the path to openjdk sourcedir, 
does it contain spaces or long names?

ALT_OUTPUTDIR is not needed for build, OUTPUTDIR points to 
openjdk/build/windows-i586 by default.

I am using the following script for windows-i586, it's for winsdk7.1 
(vs2010 one should be very similar), you may find more details in my 
github account:
