Hello,
The patch from Omair will likely be needed for building hotspot. Your
failure is much earlier though. There are some subtle differences in
make 3.82 and 4.0 regarding escaping of $ in certain situations. This
caused some trouble with referring to inner classes from makefiles. I
did some improvements in this area at some point but don't remember
exactly when. When you say not up to date, how old is that? I'm pretty
sure that jdk8 at release was buildable with make 4.0, but I may be wrong.

Are there any known issues with using GNU Make 4.0 to build OpenJDK8?
Yes. I had to add this patch in Fedora to build with Make 4.0:
