Building openjdk 8 on Mac OS X

[David DeHaven]

Technically even Mavericks, but really it's Xcode 5/6... I never backported my Xcode 5 changes to 8u. It was on my list for a while but never accomplished due to lack of time.

Is there interest in doing so? If so, I can try to find the time to scrape up a backport.

The final webrevs for JDK9 are still on CR:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ddehaven/8043340/v4/

They're also pre-Jigsaw M1 which means they might be easier to backport than what's current in JDK9.
