`building.md` lists the base OS for Win x86-32 as Windows XP & Visual Studio 2010. Visual Studio 2010 requires at least Windows XP SP3. There's also already a call to the `os::is_debugger_attached` function in `hotspot/src/share/vm/runtime/arguments.cpp`.

So if someone really does want to build 8u on Windows 98, they have a fair bit of work to do already, starting with ensuring it builds with VS2005. ;)
