It's entirely likely that I misunderstood, but I think the output of "sh
./configure -help"
could be made less ambiguous. I would ordinarily expect "make help" to inform
me of
relevant EVs for running make.

Running generated-configure.sh
`configure' configures OpenJDK jdk8 to adapt to many kinds of systems.
Usage: ./common/autoconf/configure [OPTION]... [VAR=VALUE]...
To assign environment variables (e.g., CC, CFLAGS...), specify them as
VAR=VALUE. See below for descriptions of some of the useful variables.
...
(below)
Some influential environment variables:
PKG_CONFIG path to pkg-config utility
CC C compiler command
CFLAGS C compiler flags
LDFLAGS linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
nonstandard directory <lib dir>
LIBS libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
CPPFLAGS (Objective) C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if
you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
CXX C++ compiler command
CXXFLAGS C++ compiler flags
OBJC Objective C compiler command
OBJCFLAGS Objective C compiler flags
CPP C preprocessor
CXXCPP C++ preprocessor
XMKMF Path to xmkmf, Makefile generator for X Window System
FREETYPE2_CFLAGS
C compiler flags for FREETYPE2, overriding pkg-config
FREETYPE2_LIBS
linker flags for FREETYPE2, overriding pkg-config
ALSA_CFLAGS C compiler flags for ALSA, overriding pkg-config
ALSA_LIBS linker flags for ALSA, overriding pkg-config
Use these variables to override the choices made by `configure' or to help
it to find libraries and programs with nonstandard names/locations.
