It turns out this was only partially right.

I thought you had this problem in the build-infra forest. It appeared 
there yesterday, when I deleted the empty file Defs-util.gmk, and was 
fixed this morning (Swedish time) when I removed the reference to 
Defs-util.gmk.

However, now it turns out that people are having this problem when 
building from the build forest, or worse, the jdk8 master forest!

"How could that be?" I asked myself, with rising panic. I checked the 
webrev you were supposed to integrate. It contained the empty 
Defs-util.gmk file 
(http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~erikj/build-infra-m1/webrev-jdk-new.01/, 
search for "Defs-utils.gmk"). But I couldn't really believe that you had 
integrated the wrong webrev either. So I checked the patch file 
(http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~erikj/build-infra-m1/webrev-jdk-new.01/jdk.patch), 
and it does *NOT* contain the Defs-utils.gmk file!!!

So there you have it. I don't know if this is a problem with patch 
files, that they can't be used to create new empty files, or if it is a 
bug in the webrev scripts which generates a correct web page but an 
incorrect patch file.

The simplest way to fix this is to create an empty file, as it was in 
the original build-infra repo. But the correct way is probably to remove 
the reference.

I'll prepare two webrevs with both these options, but I'd like to leave 
it up to you, Kelly, to decide which way to go.
