RFR: JDK-8055405: JDK 9 build started failing on ja_JP.UTF-8 locale due to mapping error (encoding=ascii).

[Ludovic HOCHET]

Hello Erik,
This does not fix the issue for me on a Win 8.1 fr_FR. I still have
creation dates in French.
eg.:
Compiling 1478 files for java.corba
c:\dev\dev\build\windows-x86_64-normal-server-release\corba\gensrc\java.corba\com\sun\corba\se\spi\activation\Activator.java:8:
error: unmappable character for encoding ascii

Forcing the en locale on the Java run of IDLJ fixes the issue for me:
