Ok, but does this mean that no one is interested in fixing the "old" jdk7u
system?
(I posted an help message about [7u]: help on
jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-windows.gmk and got no answer, while the fix I am
proposing will make the build in jdk7u easier by fixing this error "ERROR:
Trouble with the absolute path for OUTPUTDIR"!!)

By the way, what is exactly the old build system??? I am aware of the jdk7u
build system,
Early in jdk8 development it used the same build system as jdk7. A new build system was
developed and eventually replaced the "old" build system. The removal in this
changeset removed the obsolete legacy build system. There are no plans to backport the
new build system to java 7.
the jdk8 build system, but what is the old one?

So, finally it has happened. The old build system is now removed. The patch was
just submitted to the tl forest, from where it will move to master in a few
days.
If you have personal scripts that are using hard-coded makefile references, you
might need to update them.
Thanks to everyone who helped this major project become reality: Fredrik, Erik,
