OpenJDK 8 build fails on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS

[matchew]

I have rebuilt everything from the scratch and still have this error. Here
is configure 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
--with-build-number=jdk8u31-b13 --with-update-version=jdk8u31-b13'.

Configuration summary:
* Debug level:    release
* JDK variant:    normal
* JVM variants:   server
* OpenJDK target: OS: linux, CPU architecture: x86, address length: 64

Tools summary:
* Boot JDK:       java version "1.7.0_65" OpenJDK Runtime Environment
(IcedTea 2.5.3) (7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM
(build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)  (at /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64)

* Memory limit:   3750 MB
* ccache status:  not installed (consider installing)

Build performance tip: ccache gives a tremendous speedup for C++
recompilations.
You do not have ccache installed. Try installing it.
You might be able to fix this by running 'sudo apt-get install ccache'.

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: You have the following ALT_ variables set:
ALT_CACERTS_FILE=/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts
