[8u] RFR 8226288 - Upgrade to XCode 10+ for building JDK 8u and 11u

Thu Feb 27 19:55:47 UTC 2020

I have not heard back, and had put this on the back burner for a while.

Due to renewed interest expressed to me privately, I would like to 
resubmit this RFR, updated to the latest JDK and macOS build environment.

Updated webrev: 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stooke/webrevs/jdk-8226288-jdk8u/01/

The result of this build does not perfectly pass jtreg tier1, but there 
are only a few failures, which appear in more recent JDKs using the same 
toolchain.

I would like to (and invite others to) address the tier 1 failures 
separately; I suspect there will be more participation if the JDK builds 
cleanly on Catalina using JDK 11.  Eventually, I hope it will even run 
faster!.

Some of the upcoming RFRs (to address tier 1) appear in 
https://github.com/stooke/jdk8u-xcode10/tree/master/jdk8u-patch

I know we are in rampdown now, but I think it's as good a time as any to 
decide if this can get in for the following release.

Thank you for your time,

-Simon
