I don't know what the hotspot import requirements are as I've never used 
it. The boot JDK has to be a full JDK - the sanity check should ensure 
it meets the minimum version needed for what is being built.

Hmmm - if you don't set OPENJDK it will assume Oracle JDK behaviour but 
you won't have the Oracle specific files so weird things should happen.

BTW your build should default to OPENJDK unless you have to have defined 
things that look like the Oracle closed repos.

Can you back up a step and simply verify if you can build OPENJDK using 
only OpenJDK sources?
