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.
You can skip build of and import hotspot with
--with-import-hotspot=/path/to/hotspot which can either point to a full
jdk or the export dir from a hotspot build directory.
MSYS has limited support, but is not faster than cygwin in my
experience. Last I tried, MSYS required a JOBS=1 build to not crash.
