Ok. I have to admit I don't understand how to run the testsuite out of the
build tree. It mentions jtreg which I have installed:

glaubitz at deb4g:~$ jtreg -version
jtreg, version 4.2 src b07
Installed in /usr/share/java/jtreg.jar
Running on platform version 1.8.0_144 from /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-sparc64/jre.
Built with 1.8.0_131 on Tue, 20 Jun 2017 10:54:14 +0200.

But the configure script complains about jtreg missing:

checking if jtreg failure handler should be built... configure: error: Cannot enable jtreg failure handler without jtreg.
configure exiting with result code 1
glaubitz at deb4g:~/openjdk/hs$

I also don't fully understand how the testsuite is run as mentioned in [1]. It
talks about jtreg and then about jtreg harness which doesn't have clear build
instructions [2].
