hg: build-infra/jdk8: 7 new changesets

[Torbjörn Granat]

Hi David and Erik,

Yes, It looks like I ran into the same --with-dev-kit problem as you 
David, when trying to build ppc a couple of days ago (configure found cc 
in the local path and not in the path I gave in --with-dev-kit). I did 
my workaround in toolchain.m4, and I agree that it's a bad solution and 
probably shouldn't have been submitted now that I think of it :-) .

I saw that Magnus did an effort in October to fix a number of things in 
this area, but I don't know if this problem was introduced then.

I will open a bug, so it's not forgotten and can be fixed properly.
