OpenJDK 8 build fails on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS

[matchew]

No, configure was successful. Here is the summary:

====================================================
A new configuration has been successfully created in
/opt/openjdk/8/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release
using configure arguments '--with-cacerts-file=/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts
--with-boot-jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64'.

Configuration summary:
* Debug level:    release
* JDK variant:    normal

WARNING: You have old-style ALT_ environment variables set.
These are not respected, and will be ignored. It is recommended
that you clean your environment. The following variables are set:
ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
ALT_CACERTS_FILE=/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts

WARNING: The result of this configuration has overridden an older
configuration. You *should* run 'make clean' to make sure you get a
proper build. Failure to do so might result in strange build problems.

In the past I was using http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 but recently
switched to http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u and faced above problems.
