Just did, as well as a version of panama-foreign that should work but 
doesn't need clang(foreign-abi).


It configures now, but fails to build with errors like:


c1xx: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: 
'../../../..c:/cygwin64/home/young/jdk-master/jdk-master/build/windows-x86_64-server-release/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/objs/BUILD_LIBJVM_pch.cpp': 
No such file or directory


Basically every file within the objs file is missing... but it isn't 
actually. I can see them in Windows explorer just fine and configure 
doesn't throw any errors.


Thinking that this was an issue with file depth, I moved the cloned 
source code to root as "jdk-build". It still fails in the same spot. 
Both of them.
