Testing OpenJDK under Windows 7 64, problem with Makefile

[Daniel López]

I just tried 3.80 to see if I would get a different result from 3.82, which
was not the case.

The instructions in those pages were written by the guys at the Adopt
OpenJDK programme, who redirected me to these lists.. And yes, I have
followed the official instructions.

Anyway, my apologies for bothering you.
