Makefile patch needed when building the b20 OpenJDK source drop

[Kelly O'Hair]

I would love for these binary plugs to go away, and second best, make
them trivially available, but we are in legal territory here.
I will bring up this issue and see if we can't do what you suggest,
but I am not a lawyer, no promises.

They are a royal pain, no argument there.
