Building OpenJDK9 on MSYS2

Hi Magnus and Erik,
I really appreciate your quick feedback. I assumed that it won’t be easy, but I just don’t feel I should give up now - maybe later when I see the real scale of work. So bear with me for a time being.
Attached is a patch which already includes Magnus’ changes, plus a few which I have added:
* basically enabling gcc for windows,
* and modifying a logic for compiling fixpath (before that it was using hard-coded MS VSC compile flags)
So here is what I have as the result of configure:
====================================================
The existing configuration has been successfully updated in
/C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release
using configure arguments '--disable-freetype-bundling --disable-javac-server'.
Configuration summary:
* Debug level: release
* HS debug level: product
* JDK variant: normal
* JVM variants: server
* OpenJDK target: OS: windows, CPU architecture: x86, address length: 64
* Version string: 9-internal+0-adhoc.peterbud.jdk9 (9-internal)
Tools summary:
* Environment: msys version 2.9.0(0.318/5/3) (root at /C/msys64)
* Boot JDK: java version "1.8.0_144" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode) (at /c/progra~1/java/jdk18~1.0_1)
* Toolchain: gcc (GNU Compiler Collection)
* C Compiler: Version 7.2.0 (at /C/msys64/mingw64/bin/gcc)
* C++ Compiler: Version 7.2.0 (at /c/msys64/mingw64/bin/g++)
Build performance summary:
* Cores to use: 4
* Memory limit: 16216 MB
Its clear says that the toolchain is gcc 7.2 (BTW there is no Visual Studio on this machine)
Now for the details of the config log, you can see here: https://pastebin.com/MN2ZYcHH
And about the build process and the error I get:

If I run here
make JOBS=1 LOG=debug
The failing line seems to be this:
( /usr/bin/gawk '/@@END_COPYRIGHT@@/{exit}1' /C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/jdk/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/nio/ch/SocketOptionRegistry.java.template && /C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release/configure-support/bin/fixpath.exe -m/C/msys64/@/c/msys64/@/c/progra~ /C/msys64/mingw64/bin/gcc -E -x c /C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/jdk/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/nio/ch/SocketOptionRegistry.java.template 2> >(/usr/bin/grep -v '^SocketOptionRegistry.java.template$' >&2) | /usr/bin/gawk '/@@START_HERE@@/,0' | /usr/bin/sed -e 's/@@START_HERE@@/\/\/ AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED FILE - DO NOT EDIT/' -e 's/PREFIX_//' -e 's/^#.*//' ) > /C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release/support/gensrc/java.base/sun/nio/ch/SocketOptionRegistry.java

Now the interesting is: if I copy this line above to the bash prompt, it runs without problem, and the file support/gensrc/java.base/sun/nio/ch/SocketOptionRegistry.java
Is produced.
Then I can again issue
make JOBS=1 LOG=debug
And the compile process is being continued, until a similar error pops up with a different generated file. I have an assumption that this happens because make is still running parallel jobs, despite JOBS=1 but I’m not sure.
How could I best tackle this?
Thank you and best regards,
Peter

I agree that it requires hard work (even if "thousands" might be an
overestimation I think, but "hundreds" is not enough, so it's the right
magnitude). On the other hand, it would be really good if we did sort
things out, so that we had proper conditions based on OS vs
compiler/toolchain.
If you really want to start, the first thing is to patch toolchain.m4 to
VALID_TOOLCHAINS_windows="microsoft gcc"
and then call configure using "bash configure --with-toolchain-type=gcc".
As Erik, I doubt you will come very far before things starts tumbling down.
