Heads-up, anyone who keeps their Mac software up-to-date

[David Chase]

It was not in the code I pulled from jdk8/tl this morning.
I hacked configure to see how far the build would go; it crapped out with an unrecognized check:

clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-fcheck-new'
make[8]: *** [../generated/adfiles/adlparse.o] Error 1
make[8]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[7]: *** [ad_stuff] Error 2
make[6]: *** [fastdebug] Error 2
make[5]: *** [generic_build2] Error 2
make[4]: *** [fastdebug] Error 2
make[3]: *** [all_fastdebug_universal] Error 2
make[2]: *** [universal_fastdebug] Error 2
make[1]: *** [/Users/dr2chase/work/jdk8tl-full-control/build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-fastdebug/hotspot/_hotspot.timestamp] Error 2
make: *** [hotspot-only] Error 2
