MacOSX, jdk8u-dev build break, getting Xcode 4.6.3 set up for Maveriks 10.9.5

Correct, --with-xcode-path is for jdk8u only as it requires building with Xcode 4. For jdk9 use the Xcode 5.1 or later.

The Xcode 6.3 patch is in hotspot, it will be integrated to dev hopefully in the near future. In the meantime you can apply the patch to your local workspace.

Or, if you have an ADC account, you should be able to download Xcode 6.1 or 6.2 (listed in the "other" downloads). Just install it somewhere besides /Applications or the Mac App Store will try to auto-update it for you. Once installed, just use "sudo xcode-select --switch /path/to/Xcode-6.2.app" to use it.
