<p>There is a variable BOOT_JDK_SOURCETARGET exported from configure
and picked up in JavaCompilation.gmk. We should probably change
the name of the variable as well to avoid confusion.</p>

<p><span lang="EN-US">></span>To me that sounds like GHA are
miss-configured for the update releases. To work around this,
perhaps we should set an explicit '--release N-1' argument
when building source intended to run on the bootjdk. It looks
like we currently set '-source N-1 -target N-1' but that isn't
enough as it won't change the available JDK APIs to link to.<o:p></o:p></p>
