What David says is correct. We hope to enable it by default soon, but
feel that it could use some hardening first.

Why don't we use it when building JDK 8?
It's not that we disable it, autoconf does that for any build, by
default.
Including Fredrik for insight on why it's not on by default, or an
expectation of when it will.

If I'm reading the feature right, you have to explicitly add
"--enable-sjavac" to your build options
It is not available in the final image. Thus to use it, you have to
compile the OpenJDK yourself.
The new build system makes use of it, if you add --enable-sjavac to
the configure arguments.
