We only use the GCC 4.9.2 for jdk8u. The openjdk/jdk repository's devkit contains all devkits that support older jdk.
So we can just use this file to build all the devkits instead of pulling devkits from jdk8u and jdk11u. I also notice
newer code always contains devkit from older code. jdk contains (gcc 9, 7, 8 4), jdk11u contains (gcc 7, 4), and jdk8u
contains (gcc 4). But I will abandon this PR and change our workflow if outdated devkit will be eventually removed from
openjdk/jdk repository.
