Having the environment variable CLASSPATH set when building can cause hard-to-diagnose build errors. We should not silently accept the CLASSPATH variable when building. Normally, the classpath should be correctly setup for all invocations of java during the build. If the user wants to have a hard-coded value for CLASSPATH, they must set it explicitly in `configure`.
