It's largely just a collection of build scripts with interdependencies. The main part for you to look at is under `windows_x64_build` in https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/pull/3/files#diff-d9aafa5b5fb68a30f87fd41d7f84a7087fd33b0b07e406fd1ba4b3e66a6b9683R756 and the `configure` failure in https://github.com/gnu-andrew/jdk8u-dev/runs/5442291679?check_suite_focus=true It may be that this is already familiar to you from your own builds.
