Nope, you still need to have XQuartz installed for the dependencies. I did not have enough time to remove all traces of X11. The choice was to leave the defunct X11 toolkit and completely incorrect jawt_md.h in place (IMHO the worst option) or live with the (what should be a minor) annoyance of having X11 headers lingering, and I barely had enough bandwidth to get that done.

Of course, anyone willing to take on the work of completely removing X11 dependencies is more than welcome to!

There's already a JBS issue for it:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8003900

Although I'm a bit surprised configure isn't looking for X11, that might warrant investigation. Or maybe not, since X11 is doomed anyways...
