Here is my experience of building OpenJDK8/Jigsaw/Penrose on Windows XP 
32bit machine. Basically follow the instruction in README-builds.html, 
you can get the build successfully.

1. Pre-requirement

     1.1 NTFS required
     1.2 cygwin: package required:

     cpio.exe     Utils         cpio
     gawk.exe     Utils         awk
     file.exe     Utils         file
     zip.exe      Archive       zip

         a. Get the latest code from 
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/download.html#stable
         b. Build the project. The output are freetype.dll in 
ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH and src/include as ALT_FREETYPE_HEADER_PATH

     1.7 make 3.80: make 3.80 is no longer provided by the cygwin.

2. Get the code

     Get mercurial from: http://mercurial.selenic.com/
     Get the source

      hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/penrose/jigsaw
      cd jigsaw
      chmod +x get_source.sh
      ./get_source.sh
