RE intentionally uses what is the documented minimum gnumake (3.81),
to verify that builds work with the oldest supported gnumake.

You need to revert your 4.0 change make to JDK9 builds. Until dev

3.81, to catch that the official minimum still works, as in
JDK-8071651 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8071651>.
I've opened up a high priority enhancement request to get the
official gnumake updated, JDK-8072023
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8072023>.
Until we update gnumake for windows (JDK-8072023
<https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8072023>), issues like what
Phil found with gnumake 3.81 should be fixed.
I'm not really comfortable with letting go of support for GNU Make
3.81. It's been around for a long time and was the latest stable
release for a long time when GNU Make didn't make much progress. While
Windows is special, since cygwin more easily pushes newer versions on
users, if this is indeed a problem with make 3.81 maybe we should try
to go to the bottom with it.
What makes java.xml.bind so special that make 3.81 should barf on it,
but no other modules?
