Building JDK8 on OS X 10.8.4

[Leonid Romanov]

Hello,
The instructions on wiki are for building JDK 7. JDK 8 has a newer and better build system, so, as you've discovered, you only have to type "./configure; make".
As for Hotspot building error, use "make WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS=" command as a workaround.

Regards,
Leonid.
