I think to have jdk8 build work out of box, it is better to use older
OSes.
Like rhel/centos <= 8. You can use VM or container.
I personally usually use rhel-8 VM, if I want to build jdk8 locally.
Others distros, which should work:
Ubuntu <= 20.04
debian <= bullseye (I think)
When it comes to vendors providing JDK 8 builds, I think they
generally use
older linux distros (like rhel-6/7 or equivalent) to maximize
portability.
I cannot really comment much on Mac OS X. I have never owned mac.
GHA was just recently updated macos-13. (there are still some issues
to solve there)
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/pull/544
I don't think MacOS/aarch64 is even supported currently, at least I am
not aware of any work in that regard.
May need some additional patching. (Adoptium does not offer
MacOS/aarch64.)
Here is the bug for MacOS/aarch64port:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8253795
It has not been backported to openjdk8. You may be able to build zero
port on MacOS/aarc64,
but it will be much slower compared to "full" ports.
However if you just want to test some changes, you can just use GHA.
You can do test branch,
with modified GHA workflow to run test groups, you are interested in,
on top of your changes.

Thanks,
I did follow the readme, but could not find any commentary about the
build environment or the required compilers.
Even less information was on Mac OS X, where the autoconf files seems
not to be updated, and as a result arm was chosen instead of aarch64.
If you can point me to a specific section in the documentation
specifying, say, a list of known good compilers, I'll be grateful.

I still fail to understand how JDK8u developers are building the
project.
Setting up a build environment for jdk8 is unfortunately not a
trivial task. The build readme can be of some use:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/blob/master/doc/building.md.
The build system has gone through a complete overhaul in later
versions, so if you were to build the mainline JDK it would be a
much smoother experience. After all, JDK 8 was released 10 years
ago, and much has happened since then.

Is there a docker file specifying the build environment? What's
the recommended way of doing that?
Removing the register keyword, plus disabling an overflow warning
in a specific test with pragma did the trick for me, but:
1. I could not get it built in Mac OS X
2. I felt as if I'm paving my own path building it, instead of
following the Yellow Brick Road, which I'm trying to locate.
Thanks again,

Hello,
this is known issue, which should get fixed by JDK-8281096:
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/pull/357
(see also: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/pull/508)
TLDR:
Jdk 8 explicitly specifies older c++ version (gnu++98, which
not yet
deprecated
'register' keyword), but flags are not propagated to ADLC
build due to bug.
(correct me, if I am wrong)
When it comes to Adoptium, I don't know exactly, but I think
they are using
older compiler, which uses older c++ standard by default.
