    Description

      While it often works to build the JDK on any locale, this is not a supported configuration, and as JDK-8263028 shows, in some cases it really does break.

      For unix-like systems, this is not a problem since the locale is set while building by the build systems. On Windows, however, this does not work, and the user must manually configure the correct locale.

      This needs to be reflected in the build documentation.
