Build issues on Ubuntu 16.04, 17.10 and 18.04-daily inside Docker

Wed Dec 6 18:10:54 UTC 2017

We ought to get a fix for JDK-8189689 in sooner rather than later to 
allow builds to continue to work on newer versions of gcc. Maybe right 
after the JDK 10 RDP1 fork would be a good time.

As for the other error (the one from ant), you need 'ant' in your path 
in order to build the apps. ant 1.8.2 is what we use (we had some 
problems with 1.9 based versions, but I don't recall specifically if 
that was something in the apps build that was failing).

It's clear from the various build problems that folks are having, that 
the build instructions on the Wiki needs updating. I can take a stab at 
that after the JDK 10 RDP1 deadline has passed. If anyone wants to share 
their build problems, I can see about incorporating that into the Wiki.
