Seems reasonable but I don't understand these two targets:
+ $(info $(_) make hotspot-<variant> # Build just the
specified jvm variant)
+ $(info $(_) make hotspot-libs # Build the native
libraries for hotspot)
Given that the JVM variant defines which libjvm to build, and that is
the primary "hotspot native library", I don't see how these two can be
distinct ??
In the current build, "hotspot-libs" happens to be synonymous with just
"hotspot" as it builds all the native libraries, and the hotspot build
doesn't have any more targets in its pipeline. In theory, we could add
additional build phases for hotspot in the future. I agree it's not very
useful to document this target as it currently stands however.

After the hotspot makefile rewrite and the elimination of the hotspot
dist output directory, it's now time to create more fine granular top
level make targets for building hotspot. This will enable better
granularity in between hotspot build steps and the rest of the build.
Building native libraries in the JDK will only need to wait for one
libjvm to be built. Building docs will only require the gensrc step in
hotspot to be built.
Here is the full list of new targets proposed:
hotspot-gensrc
hotspot-libs
hotspot-<variant>
hotspot-<variant>-gensrc
hotspot-<variant>-libs
hotspot-jsig
