Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8031759
In a way, this is a continuation of JDK-8022411. While that bug fixed
the ability to properly override CC/CXX with either a complete path, or
just a command name that was to be searched in $PATH, this fix does the
same for all other tools that are located, not only the compilers.
(Boot-JDK tools being the exception; this is issue might be addressed
soon too.)
With this fix, user overrides will always be honored, and they will
never fail silently.
I believe this fix supersedes the pending fix for JDK-8031669, which is
still awaiting approval from a formal reviewer.
