There is a fix for later gccs such as what your Ubuntu system has:

JDK-8027300 "configure should use LIBS instead of LDFLAGS when testing 
freetype"
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8027300

Check the email threads here:

The fix went into the jdk8/build forest about two hours ago:

Hope this helps-
