I was following the instructions in this email
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-infra-dev/2011-December/000407.html

which tell me to:
To build using the new build system in the build-infra-dev jdk8 forest,
change directory to "common/makefiles" and:

../autoconf/configure --disable-javac-server --disable-javac-deps
--disable-javac-multi-core
make


Therefore one might presume a default target in the top level make command
would run embody those instructions -- namely,
     cd dommon/makefiles
     run configure if necessary
     make
