I thought building an OpenJDK or Oracle JDK can be fully controlled by

OPENJDK env variable still plays a part. If the variable is set to
true and --enable-openjdk-only is not provided, the new build process
gets confused and fails.
I understand this is my fault and I should not have that variable
around. However, it will be nice if the build can deny all external
variables like it did with all those ALT_*** variables. Are there any
other variables I should be aware of?
This is bad, I agree. We initially kept the same variable for
controlling if the build was OpenJDK only or not as the old build,
because it made it easier during the conversion. The problem with this
variable is that it is either set or not, which makes it harder to
override in makefiles. The proper solution would be to replace this in
the new build with something like OPENJDK_ONLY=true/false and completely
ignore the old OPENJDK.
I can't remember any other variables right now, but it's quite possible
there are more.
