It's probably possible but usually not necessary. Even on a modest system a
full build takes only 20 minutes and an incremental rebuild is less than 3
minutes (even faster if you use sjavac or JDK_FILTER).
I agree, it shouldn't really be necessary to do partial builds any more
(it was way too fragile in the past with the old build). That said, the
new build does have --with-import-* options to configure the build to
import some of the components from another JDK.
