If it were my choice, Mac OS X 10.8 would be the base OS with Xcode
4.6.1 (current) with clang as the officially supported compiler and

the public lifecycle of JDK8. What I would be more concerned with is
the apparent drift from what we know as Mac OS X towards something
more iOS-like, that could mean libraries and frameworks we depend on
no longer being available, but at that point it wouldn't be the same
OS and we'd have to re-evaluate anyways. Sort of like what's happening
with Windows 8 right now.
Sorry for what may be considered muddying the waters, since this is a
JDK8 discussion.
What about JDK7 update builds? We currently use the same set of macosx
hardware for both 7u & 8. Does JPRT / others do so as well, or do
they maintain separate systems for 7u.
JPRT as far as I know only uses 10.7 systems for builds. The 10.8
systems can only be used for testing.
Since we have added the compiler and link args described earlier in this
thread to jdk8 makefiles, I believe we have enabled 10.8 for building
jdk8 too now. At least we intend to.
