The build-infra project has been quite productive and would like to
push an update to the new build in jdk8.

What's new in this push?
* Makefile conversion is basically done (a few minor exceptions but
all code is compiled by new makefiles now).
* Solaris ia32 is now as binary compatible with the old build as linux
is.
* Build speed is significantly improved since only new makefiles are
used. (Rough examples for full open build: Linux 7min, Solaris ia32
7min, Windows 22min)
* Windows still builds and is runnable.
* Several bugfixes.
Why push now, it's not all done yet?
The main driver for this push is the jigsaw project that needs to
consume the full conversion of the makefiles in order to work on the
jigsaw build. We also think that people trying out the new build will
enjoy the speed improvement. Of course we also welcome more feedback
on the new build system.

One thing about the update is that it adds a compile time dependency on
javax.tools.annotation.GenerateNativeHeader to many areas. I think this
requires consideration from a modularity perspective.
