Hi Anthony,

I apolize for the long overdue reply.

Thanks for your problem report, and assistance in providing correct links!

I have now updated the build web page.

Regarding the jdk README file: Funny, I've never even noticed that it 
existed. :-) I agree that it is not up to date. In fact, none of the 
sub-repo README files seems fully up to date. I believe they should do 
nothing more than to point to the top-level build README. I have created 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8140394 to track this.
