Problems building JDK8 on x64 Linux with new build

[Mike Duigou]

Backing out cc998992dc32 currently isn't sufficient to produce a working x64 Linux image with new build. There appears to also be a problem with CreateJars.gmk running the `images` target:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/mike/code/jdk/jdk8/jdk/makefiles'
/bin/sh: 1: cannot create /home/mike/code/jdk/jdk8/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-fastdebug/images/lib/ext//_the.localedata.jar_include: Directory nonexistent
/bin/grep: /home/mike/code/jdk/jdk8/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-fastdebug/images/lib/ext//_the.localedata.jar_include: No such file or directory
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/mike/code/jdk/jdk8/jdk/makefiles'
CreateJars.gmk:905: *** missing `endif'.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/mike/code/jdk/jdk8/jdk/makefiles'

I spent some time trying to find the missing endif but it was elusive. (wouldn't it be useful if make told you the start line of the unclosed if!)

The preceding failed output lines are also suspicious to me. 

This kind of problem shouldn't be getting in to the master jdk8 repo.
