Issues build OpenJDK8

[Magnus Ihse Bursie]

I also noted that you download the source for external dependencies directly from the upstream website for each build, and rebuild it from scratch. 

I would recommend that you build it once locally and then use that pre-built binary. Apart from putting an extra load on often underfunded open source projects, you are at the mercy of all kinds of network troubles. In fact, my guess is that the intermittent failure you saw might be due to an intermittent failure in the download or build of alsa.
