OpenJDK 7 fails to build on macOS Mojava version 10.14.2 (18C54)

[nelsnelson]

I followed the instructions here:

https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory/wiki/Building-and-Packaging-OpenJDK7-for-OSX

The gcc version:

$ gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.5)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.2.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

Xcode is Version 10.1 (10B61).

$ xcode-select --version
xcode-select version 2354.

The build invocation:

$ COMPILER_WARNINGS_FATAL=false JAVAC_WARNINGS_FATAL=false XBUILD=true ./obuildfactory/openjdk7/macosx/standalone-job.sh
...
FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

The following settings are used:

  platform                    unix
  compiler                    cc
  configuration directory     ./builds/unix
  configuration rules         ./builds/unix/unix.mk

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file
`config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

Otherwise, simply type `/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make' again to build the library,
or `/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python).
