Some times ago I tried to run the make for nio/charsets via CYGWIN. It turned out, that I was required to have Visual Studio installed, because $(BUILDDIR)/common/Defs.gmk always looks for the C compiler. Can this dependency interweaved in a different way, so building of JDK parts without C sources would be possible without a C compiler installed?
Generally all the tool checks etc are done upfront before it is known what needs to be actually built. But I think that if you build in INSANE mode then the checks will only be warnings not fatal errors.
