The backport of JDK-8043340 should have resolved this, this was done in time for 8u40. In short: don't use --with-tools-dir, use --with-xcode-path instead. There was a later fix to hotspot for building on Yosemite but it was too late for 8u40: changeset: 7161:10c237e58446 user: ddehaven date: Wed Mar 18 18:12:01 2015 -0700 summary: 8075400: Cannot build hotspot in jdk8u on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) Patch: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/hs-dev/hotspot/rev/10c237e58446 You can try applying that to your workspace and see if it helps. -DrD-
