I followed the instructions in the README and tried building on a new, blank ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS system. configure was able to detect that cups, asound & freetype libs were not installed, and provided helpful instructions to get them, but it failed to catch that X libraries were not installed - I had to install them 'manually' -

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev libxt-dev libxrender-dev libxtst-dev

Might want to update configure to check for these libs on linux.

The very latest README-builds.html file is:
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html

This documents the new build makefiles only.
As with all documents of this type, it will always be a work in progress.
