You might try asking such questions in an openjdk forum.

What you get seems to be caused by the original openjdk source

On http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/file/8207823b72b8/common/autoconf/jdk-options.m4#l89 and lines 120ff I see

...
87 # Currently we have:
88 # server: normal interpreter and a tiered C1/C2 compiler
89 # client: normal interpreter and C1 (no C2 compiler) (only 32-bit platforms)
...
120 if test "x$JVM_VARIANT_CLIENT" = xtrue; then
121 if test "x$OPENJDK_TARGET_CPU_BITS" = x64; then
122 AC_MSG_ERROR([You cannot build a client JVM for a 64-bit machine.])
123 fi
124 fi
...

In my opinion this has nothing to do with Ubuntu, but is related to the openjdk source.
