OpenJDK configure is reading VS environment properties 
VS100COMNTOOLS/VS120COMNTOOLS/VS140COMNTOOLS etc. One option is to set just one 
of them. AFAIK configure takes latest supported VS (2013 for ojdk9).

Another option is to use configure parameters, but I don't know how exactly use 
them. Try to look to configure help

$ bash ./configure --help | grep toolchain
   --with-tools-dir        alias for --with-toolchain-path for backwards
   --with-toolchain-path   prepend these directories when searching for
                           toolchain binaries (compilers etc)
   --with-toolchain-type   the toolchain type (or family) to use, use '--help'
   --with-toolchain-version
                           the version of the toolchain to look for, use
   --with-build-devkit     Devkit to use for the build platform toolchain
                           [toolchain dependent]
The following toolchains are available as arguments to --with-toolchain-type.
