RFC: architecture define probably masks variable names in header files

[Kelly O'Hair]

the native code is usually in the src/solaris, src/windows, src/linux, and
src/share directories. But to be safe you might want to create a complete
list from the root of the repository forest with:

    find . -type f -name \*.c -o -name \*.h -o -name \*.cpp -o -name \*.hpp

Maybe with a little divide and conquer, do hotspot separate from the jdk directories?
