OpenJDK 8 compact profiles fail to build with make 4.0

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Hi,

I'd like to report an issue with the build for the OpenJDK 8 compact
profiles. On Debian the build fails when PropertyChangeListener is
removed from the pack200 classes:

## Starting profiles
/usr/bin/find: `/home/ebourg/jdk8u-dev/build/images/lib': No such file
or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
'/home/ebourg/jdk8u-dev/build/images/beanless/java/util/jar/Pack200\$Packer.class',
needed by '/home/ebourg/jdk8u-dev/build/images/libprofile_1/rt.jar'.  Stop.

BuildJdk.gmk:113: recipe for target 'profile_1' failed
make[1]: *** [profile_1] Error 2
/home/ebourg/jdk8u-dev//make/Main.gmk:147: recipe for target
'profiles-only' failed
make: *** [profiles-only] Error 2


The same issue was reported last year on Arch Linux:

It looks like this error is caused by GNU Make 4.0 which is now the
default in Debian. I was able to build the compact profiles after
downgrading make to the version 3.81.

OpenJDK 9 isn't affected by this issue because the
add/removePropertyChangeListener() methods are already removed.

Make 4.0 caused another regression (JDK-8028407) which has been fixed
for OpenJDK 9. Could you also consider backporting it to OpenJDK 8 please?

Thank you,

Emmanuel Bourg
