     Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
     javadoc, consider skipping that step.

But there is no information I can find about how to skip that step: I
think it's NO_DOCS=true.

Look in make/jdk-rules.gmk lines 40 ... 44
    40  # GENERATE_DOCS determines if we ask for the docs target
    41  DOCS_TARGET = docs
    42  ifeq ($(GENERATE_DOCS),false)
    43    DOCS_TARGET =
    44  endif


If you do not want docs generated, add "GENERATE_DOCS=false" to your make command.


In case you decide to generate docs at some point, I suggest using a build system with plenty of RAM and increasing max heap size during the build. The default -Xmx of '612m' is too small for javadoc. Specify a value along the lines of MAX_VM_MEMORY=2048 or larger if you have the resources.

Hope this helps-

Tim
