Alan,
Sorry for not being clean enough.

repository produce deprecation warning while compiling and these warning
threaten as an error. Therefor build are stopped.
I use 1.8.0-ea-b37 for compilation.
I workarounded the problem with JAVAC_LINT_OPTIONS but would like to
know is it a known issue.

I don't quite follow what you are doing. Are you trying to build the
jdk8/tl using a really old jdk8 build as your bootstrap JDK? The
normal/documented way to build jdk8 is to use a jdk7 build as your
bootstrap JDK. For boot cycle builds then the JDK should be able to
compile itself of course, I'm just not sure about using a much older
jdk8 build as mismatches are going to cause problems (I'm not saying
it's the case here, it's just not clear from your mail). The only other
thing that comes to mind is that maybe you are doing an incremental
build after a partial build. We've had issues with warnings being fatal
causing problems for this case. Stuart is the person to lobby over this
but the basic idea is that as areas become warning free (javac warnings
that is, not native compilers) then they are switched to being fatal to
prevent warnings coming back. That's great for full builds but can be
problematic for partial or incremental builds due to implicit
complication and compiling things in a different order than a full build
would normally do. This is something that I hope will be a non-issue
with the new build system.
