Patch for building Java8 JDK repository

[Jonathan Lu]

Hi Volker,

Here's the command I was using for compilation, it was taken from my AIX 
box, but on Linux PPC it should work with some changes to the path strings.

make FT_CFLAGS=-m64 LANG=C \
   ALT_BOOTDIR=$HOME/depends/ojdk7 \
   ALT_HOTSPOT_IMPORT_PATH=$HOME/depends/ojdk7 \
   ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=$ALT_BOOTDIR \
   ARCH_DATA_MODEL=64 \
   HOST_CC=/usr/vacpp/bin/xlc_r \
   HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=8 \
   PARALLEL_COMPILE_JOBS=8 \
   ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=/opt/freeware/lib \
   ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=/opt/freeware/include \
   ALT_CUPS_HEADERS_PATH=/opt/freeware/include \
   ANT_HOME=$HOME/depends/apache-ant-1.8.2 \
   VERBOSE=true \
   CC_INTERP=true \
   OPENJDK=true \
   CORE_BUILD=true \
   ALLOW_DOWNLOAD=true \
   <target>

The <target> is a place holder for "langtools", "corba", "jaxp", "jaxws" 
and "jdk", (hope HotSpot can be here soon, then this will be unnecessary ).
on my machines I wrap them into a short shell script, and call it with 
module name as argument in a loop.

Many thanks and best regards!
Jonathan
