We had an issue 3-4 weeks ago with preview warnings being issues in 
import. That issue was fixed and integrated with the big record push:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/8e76f81d057a?revcount=20#l110.18

In fact, I do not see any warning being triggered in my build.

Ty mentioned that he's building from bits obtained from GitHub - so at 
this point I wonder what's the 'tip' of the jdk/jdk repository you are 
trying to build?
