looks like we test in basic.m4  for DEVKIT_ROOT in the if check, but we do not use it afterwards and go directly to UTIL_LOOKUP_PROGS using TOOLCHAIN_PATH.
This seems to be different in head
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/470f3424fcce0e41b75cccdd5e3a56771cd07ff5/make/autoconf/basic.m4#L137

but on the other hand we do it in 17u-dev the same way.  So probably the backport is okay, but maybe not optimal (comparing to head) ?
