Build from sources fails with Java 17

[Michał 'Chlebik' Piotrowski]

Howdy!

I'm a newcomer to the OpenJDK, and therefore tried to start from scratch by
actually building OpenJDK on my local machine. In order to go through the
whole process, I've also tried to run JTReg tests, which failed due to too
old version of this library in my WSL / Linux Mint on VBox (host system is
Windows 10).

I've tried to build the latest version from scratch on both WSL (Ubuntu)
and VBox (with aforementioned Mint). An actual build process works, and I
get BUILD SUCCESSFUL message, unfortunately it seems that tests executed to
verify the process fails. Below I'm posting all the output I got and
additional information about the environment.

System: Linux Mint with kernel 4.15.0-47-generic
Java:  Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-LTS-39, mixed
mode, sharing)

I don't know what should be the procedure here, in terms of reporting an
error, so that's why I've decided to post it here, in order to get some
feedback how to proceed further.
