There is completely no harm in setting JDK 8 as BOOTDIR of JDK 8, but I would suggest you using 7u4. If there is anything wrong, you can send us a bug report. I don't think we can guarantee that jdk8 will always be buildable using another jdk8 build as the bootstrap JDK. There will be times were there are API changes in-flight that might mean that langtools couldn't build (there were many cases in jdk7 where this was the case). So for jdk8 then I think the best (and only sane) advice is to use jdk7 as the bootstrap JDK.

Clearly of course a JDK build needs to be able to build itself and a boot cycle build is great test but that may be more than Martijn wants now.
