Building openjdk 8 on Mac OS X

You don't need to do this with the current command line tools, they've fixed the problem. If unsure, run "sudo xcode-select -switch /path/to/Xcode4.app" and then try running lipo with no args, if it deadlocks then it's still broken and you'll need to work around it.

BUT with current JDK 8u you don't need to set Xcode 4 as the active Xcode, just pass --with-xcode-path=/path/to/Xcode4.app and it will figure everything out for you, including the lipo thing. Current jdk8u/dev should be buildable on Yosemite.

I believe I also removed the need for lipo, it was never necessary. That might've been done for 9 only though.

The configure args ONLY needs --with-xcode-path, don't pass the --with-extra-cflags args.

You should see some lines like:
checking Determining if we need to set DEVELOPER_DIR... yes (/path/to/Xcode4.app/Contents/Developer)
checking for xcodebuild... /usr/bin/xcodebuild
checking Determining Xcode SDK path... /path/to/Xcode4.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk

If you see that, you should be good to go.
