This is most likely due to some issue on new/delete operators works, 
which are undergoing changes in the language. That is, a code issue on 
hotspot.

I don't know why you are seeing this on windows-x86 though. 
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt723604.aspx suggests that you 
can disable this check by -Zc:sizedDealloc-. Do this by "configure 
--with-extra-cxxflags=Zc:sizedDealloc-".

Oracle is not building 32-bit Windows regularly, and I don't think 
anyone else is doing that. (Perhaps AdoptOpenJDK?) In such a scenario, 
the code quickly bit rots. There has been no decision as of yet to 
remove the code from the code base, but unless someone steps up to 
maintain the code base, it's unlikely to survive in the long term.
