<p>Large portions of the JDK consists of native code, that needs to be compiled to be able to run on the target platform. In theory, toolchain and operating system should be independent factors, but in practice there's more or less a one-to-one correlation between target operating system and toolchain.</p>

<h2 id="boot-jdk-requirements">Boot JDK Requirements</h2>
<p>Paradoxically, building the JDK requires a pre-existing JDK. This is called the "boot JDK". The boot JDK does not, however, have to be a JDK built directly from the source code available in the OpenJDK Community. If you are porting the JDK to a new platform, chances are that there already exists another JDK for that platform that is usable as boot JDK.</p>
<p>The rule of thumb is that the boot JDK for building JDK major version <em>N</em> should be a JDK of major version <em>N-1</em>, so for building JDK 9 a JDK 8 would be suitable as boot JDK. However, the JDK should be able to "build itself", so an up-to-date build of the current JDK source is an acceptable alternative. If you are following the <em>N-1</em> rule, make sure you've got the latest update version, since JDK 8 GA might not be able to build JDK 9 on all platforms.</p>
