CMake replacing Autotools?

[Vladimir Kempik]

Hello
On macmini m1 jdk in default config can be built in about 4 minutes. (make images)
I might guess autotools aren't the slowest thing.

Is gmake really where we lose time? Did you analyze this or is this just an
assumption? I would have thought it's things like single threaded jmod,
jlink, and subprocess spawning.

I'm sure it is. The other slow thing is linking HotSpot.
