configure needs a way to customize compiler/linker options for the "build" compiler

• Type: Enhancement
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Priority: P4
• Fix Version/s: tbd
• Affects Version/s: 8

Currently, there is no way to configure the compiler/linker options for the "build" compiler, i.e. the compiler which builds some build tools natively on the build host (e.g. jdk/makefiles/gensrc/GensrcMisc.gmk). The '--with-extra-cflags'/'--with-extra-cxxflags' options are only used for the "target" compiler, i.e. the compiler which generates the JDK (and which can be a cross compiler).
