Error: SPEC mismatch! Current working directory does not match either TOPDIR, ORIGINAL_TOPDIR or CANONICAL_TOPDIR

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Martijn,

I believe this is a problem of string comparisons of file paths and 
character case. The file system on Macosx is case insensitive, but we 
aren't treating it as such properly. The difference is in the 'p' in 
'project' in the directory name 'AdoptOpenJDK_projects'. The directory 
name on disk and the CWD are not in agreement of the case of that 
character. As a workaround, try CDing out and into the directory again 
but with the proper name and then rerun configure and make.
