Hello,
I missed adding a dependency for the cross compilation case. The
change is in Main.gmk, adding the line:
+ buildtools-modules: create-buildjdk
New webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~erikj/8166948/webrev.02/
Looks good to me.

During the build process, we create an exploded image as an interim
step before linking the real JDK and JRE images. This exploded image
is used both for running certain build tools during the build but is
also used by developers when needing a quick build-test cycle since
the exploded image is much faster to build incrementally.
Lately, with newer Jigsaw features, the exploded image has become
very slow to run. This is caused by the runtime needing to index all
packages in all modules at startup. In a linked image, this data is
pregenerated, but in the exploded case, it's not. There have been
reports of this taking up to 4-5 seconds on certain configurations.
To fix this, we can add a new build tool that is run on the exploded
image, which updates the module-info.class files with this package
index. This will also have the benefit of also speeding up jmod and
jlink when run during the build.
Alan provided the tool and I have modified the build to use it.
