But wait a minute, how often do people really do both builds in the same make

For me that's perfectly fine!

What you recommend should work now, with the empty directory clutter there,
which
I think we can figure out and fix.

I didn't address the building both with one step...
For OPENJDK, we don't build both at the same time. But for the Sun JDK product

Remove the last two MKDIR lines. I don't think they are needed and that might

Ah, shortpath == 8.3. Thanks for the history, and I agree, they are a royal
pain.
The Makefiles use 'cygpath -m -s -a PATH' or with MKS 'dosname -s PATH' to get
these
paths because dealing with paths that have spaces in Makefiles or shell
commands is
pretty impossible to keep correct.

FYI
The "8.3" name is the shortened translation of a long filename, for DOS
backwards compatibility. It was introduced in Windows95 (!), and has never gone
away since. You take the first six characters as-is, add a tilde (not a ? as I
used below, sorry) and then an increasing number to guarantee uni
