JDK 8 Build Issue(s)

[mr rupplin]

Great.  I tried JDK 8 as base and it gave the generic linux error at build.

Thanks.

Hi Max!

Not much to go on here [0]. For what it's worth, I was able to clone
8u-dev and build it on Mint 18.3 Cinnamon (w/ JDK 7u80 as the boot JDK)
without any issues. The Mint VM image I used was new and the only thing
I did before building the JDK was run an apt-get update/upgrade cycle
and apt-get install g++).

I would also point out that Mint is not one of the platforms officialy
supported by Oracle for building JDK 8 [1]. While Mint and other
Ubuntu-based systems tend to work pretty well for building OpenJDK, you
might have an easier time starting off by building on something closer
to what we develop and test on.

Cheers,
-Buck
