Does -Xprintflags no longer work?

[Ted Neward]

Yes, but it's *far* more fun to do this as part of a demo of why building
the OpenJDK source is A Good Thing For Java Developer's To Do Once. :-)

Since it's known, I'll relax and let y'all handle it. If I get *really*
fired up, I'll try to submit a fix/patch, but I've got other things I need
to do in the meantime (sorry).
