I wasn’t implying that it would go away, merely that it is a second class

Not quite. The hotspot build system was not rewritten to require the

Updates to those windows specific parts of the hotspot build have taken

 If you have personal scripts that are using hard-coded makefile
 references, you might need to update them.

Ok, but does this mean that no one is interested in fixing the old jdk7u 
system?

(I posted an help message about [7u]: help on 
jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-windows.gmk and got no answer, while the fix I am 
proposing will make the build in jdk7u easier by fixing this error  ERROR: 
Trouble with the absolute path for OUTPUTDIR!!)

By the way, what is exactly the old build system??? I am aware of the jdk7u 
build system,

Early in jdk8 development it used the same build system as jdk7. A new build system was 
developed and eventually replaced the old build system. The removal in this 
changeset removed the obsolete legacy build system. There are no plans to backport the 
new build system to java 7.


the jdk8 build system, but what is the old one?

So, finally it has happened. The old build system is now removed. The patch was 
just submitted to the tl forest, from where it will move to master in a few 
days.

might need to update them.
