And I just realized that I have a gcc available anyway!

Repo is tagged at jdk8-b50. It's a jdk8 clone. No changes. But looking 
at the output again:

checking whether cc accepts -g... yes
checking for cc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
`tty`: Ambiguous
checking for cl... no
checking for CC... CC
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
checking whether CC accepts -g... yes
`tty`: Ambiguous
configure: error: Could not find the needed compilers!

I'm suspicious about the

`tty`: Ambiguous

lines. I'm wondering if they are messing up the attempts to parse the 
command output?

How to debug this? I ran configure with sh -x, but it then execs bash 
without -x :(

Aside: on my solaris box configure runs horrendously slow too :(

Thanks,
David
