Problem building JDK 8

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Martin, Hadi,

I did the same (checked my own config.log files) and observed the same
think like Martin. But it seems that the "checking for.." lines are
only there for successful checks (look at other failed checks in
config log). Nevertheless I agree that it is strange that there's no
output at all before the error line.
