Hello,

This change is intended for jdk8u (and jdk9).

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~erikj/8033210/webrev.root.01/
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8033210


Background:
In make/common/JavaCompilation.gmk, in the macro SetupJavaCompilation, 
we use the (new) -h feature in javac, which makes javac automatically 
run javah on classes with native methods. A problem is that javac will 
always print these headers, regardless of if they are there already or 
if they changed. To only cause recompilation of native code when 
something actually changed, there is logic in the macro to generate the 
headers to a temporary directory and then compare the output to any 
existing header files in the actual headers directory, and then only 
copy it over if it has changed. The temporary directory is then deleted.

What I suspect is happening here is that, since the name of the 
temporary directory is only a function of the name of the actual header 
files directory, each call to SetupJavaCompilation, which points to a 
common header files directory, will use the same temporary directory. 
There is potential for a race if these execute in parallel. On windows, 
there are a couple of extra calls to SetupJavaCompilation that will 
execute in parallel, which is why this happens there and not on any 
other platforms.

The fix is pretty simple. Make sure the temporary directory name is 
unique for each call to SetupJavaCompilation.

/Erik
