Martijn,
Welcome to the world of bootstrapping the build.
The BOOTJDK is only guaranteed to understand -source 8 (when building
9) so we use the BOOTJDK javac to compile an interim javac from the
latest source code, which can understand -source 9. (This requires and
implies that javac is written with -source 8 in mind and does not use
the very latest language features being developed in the current
release.) That "interim javac" is then executed using the BOOTJDK
runtime to compile all the JDK source using -source 9. It even compiles
itself again to generate classes to include in the product so that all
the JDK files have been compiled with the latest javac, including itself.
But not sure from what you have said so far why the interim javac has
not been built.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks, that was dense of me not to do that first.
Using debug output I discover that there are more than just one javac
involved, one from interim_langtools.jar

/Users/karianna/Documents/workspace/AdoptOpenJDK_projects/jdk9/build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/buildtools/interim_langtools.jar
does not exist! So it's not being built correctly or moved to the right
place.
I'm not seeing any other clues (even at trace) that indicates why
interim_langtools.jar has not been built....
Cheers,
Martijn

Is there a way of printing out the absolute path to the javac it might be
trying to execute? I wonder if it goes looking elsewhere during the
build...
Are you not building with LOG=debug ?
Andrew.
