Ok, I think I figured out the problem.

Stephen's build includes DEBUG_NAME and SKIP_FASTDEBUG_BUILD in the
default set of variables, around line 199 in update.sh. The problem
seems to be that if DEBUG_NAME is set to "fastdebug" that's the target
used to build the JDK. Setting the other flags doesn't seem to have
any effect then.

I removed that line and set SKIP_FASTDEBUG_BUILD and SKIP_DEBUG_BUILD
both to "true", and it has built a "product" build now instead.

FWIW, I also cranked HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS up to 8 for my 4-core i7 (8
with hyperthreading) and the build goes much faster.

system ~/projects/mlvm/sources $ build/bsd-amd64/j2sdk-image/bin/java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-internal-headius_2011_11_10_14_11-b00)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b03, mixed mode)

The product build is
definitely faster at starting up and running JRuby benchmarks (first
with Henri's fastdebug .dmg, then with my product build):
