David,
For a long time now, the JDK 8 langtools repo has accepted -source 8 and
-target 8, so this should not affect which version of langtools you need
to use. Of course, you do need to make sure that these options are not
used with the bootstrap javac, which will typically be from JDK 7.

Hi Kumar,
So after this jdk8 builds will have to use current langtools javac in
order to work?
The corresponding changes to the new build system will be needed as well.
