Build the jdk with new or modified sources

[Lorris]

I don’t have problems with clock skew (or at least I never encountered any problem with it until today). The problem I was referring to in this statement is when I modify a class A, to add for example a method to it, and then reference this new method in another file B, when I build for the first time, I won’t have any problem. Although, if after this build I modify the B file, the next build will result in an error stating that the A method does not exist. If the A class has been modified after the files referencing the new methods it contains everything works correctly, but not vice versa.
