ccplus: warnings being trated as errors

[Ben Cheng]

The main culprit is some (newer) gcc distributions enables -Wwrite-strings
by default. I found another place to hack in hotspot's makefile:

hotspot/build/linux/makefiles/gcc.make:

CFLAGS += $(VM_PICFLAG)
CFLAGS += -fno-rtti
CFLAGS += -fno-exceptions
CFLAGS += -D_REENTRANT
CFLAGS += -fcheck-new
# Suppress the "deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'"
warning
CFLAGS += -Wno-write-strings

Hope this helps,
-Ben
