Specifically the flags that are checked if openjdk-target is specified, in
make/autoconf/configure (Essentially just passing --build, --host and --target
directly to configure, something which is largely discouraged within the JDK):
if test "x$conf_legacy_crosscompile" != "x"; then
if test "x$conf_openjdk_target" != "x"; then
echo "Error: Specifying --openjdk-target together with autoconf"
echo "legacy cross-compilation flags is not supported."
echo "You specified: --openjdk-target=$conf_openjdk_target and
$conf_legacy_crosscompile."
echo "The recommended use is just --openjdk-target."
exit 1
else
echo "Warning: You are using legacy autoconf cross-compilation flags."
echo "It is recommended that you use --openjdk-target instead."
echo ""

Will do, thanks for the heads up!
