Looks good to me now.

In general it looks good. I have a couple of remarks, though.

1) In Clean-docs, you do:
+        $(RM) -r $(SUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR)/docs
+        $(RM) -r $(IMAGES_OUTPUTDIR)/docs

I'm not quite certain cleaning images/docs the right thing to do. For all other clean targets, we only clean the support part. If we want to clean images, we run clean-images. And if you think this is the right thing to do for images, wouldn't it then also be the right thing for e.g. java.base-native? And then things quickly become complicated.

The docs target generates docs directly into images. The directory in support is for temporary/intermediate files. Building to support and then just copy it all over to images seems like a waste of both time and disk space. Also note that the clean targets aren't mutually exclusive today. You can for example do clean-support or you can do clean-java.base.

Alright.

2) The new configure-support, as well as the rather new make-support seems to be a bit unfairly treated. There is a MAKESUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR in spec.gmk but it's hardcoded there, so you can't use it in configure, e.g. in your changes in build-performance.m4. The new configure-support does not even have a corresponding CONFIGURESUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR in the spec.gmk. Instead, it has a variable CONFIGURE_SUPPORT that is present only in the configure files.

I'm not sure how much, if anything, of these inconsistencies that should be fixed now. But I'd suggest that you rename CONFIGURE_SUPPORT to CONFIGURESUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR at the very least. (Or, maybe, MAKESUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR should be MAKE_SUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR.)

Renamed to CONFIGURESUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR and put it in spec. Removed reference to make-support in configure and put the single use directly in spec.gmk.in instead. There is no need for configure to know about the sjavacservers dir. Changed dist-clean in Main.gmk to use the variable CONFIGURESUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR.
Great!
