+If building Windows binaries, you must also have synced down the OpenJDK source code
 from Windows. This is because Windows executables (such as Visual Studio and the boot
 JDK) must be able to access the source code. Also, the directory where the OpenJDK
 source code is stored must be case-insensitive (either by setting the individual
 directory as case insensitive using fsutil, changing /etc/fstab to mount the drive as
-case-insensitive, or editing /etc/wsl.conf to mark all mounted Windows drives as
