This is the following problem: "8026964: Building with an IBM J9 boot
jdk requires special settings for BOOT_RTJAR" I had a patch for it:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/8026964.v2/
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/8026964.jdk/ which wasn't
accepted because it led to problems with the MinGW build and I didn't
had time to investigate that problem further (see this mail thread:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2013-November/thread.html#11108)
I'm ready to resume working on it if there's a real need.

I'm afraid that the problem lies elsewhere - I've already locally
implemented my version of the same, or similar, patch (as discussed last
year, IIRC) - the changes I've made look like ...

To my mind, this looks a little cleaner and, better still, it avoids the
'[]' shenanigans you found.
