See bug # JDK-8026528 [build] configure does not recognize newer make in 
cygwin

The warning bears repeating:  there is no 'undo' in Cygwin, so be 
careful about updating to some bleeding edge version of the tools that 
won't work with the build.  This is why we probably will not update our 
internal build systems again until JDK 9.
