If the newly built JDK fails to run ("DOA"), we will get a strange error 
message about jdk.compiler-gendata errors from make. The reason is not at all 
obvious.

Instead, we should make a simple check that we can actually use the new JDK 
before starting to use it for the first time, and report clearly to the user if 
this is not the case.
