Hello,

I ran an OpenJDK Hack Day session on Saturday, at which some people got stuck on lost a fair bit of time, failing to build JDK9. Then we found that updating gcc from 4.6 to 4.8 fixed it.
Could the `configure` script be updated (by running get-source.sh) so as to check for minimum required gcc version?

Best Regards
