b39 build problems on Ubuntu 8.10

[Kelly O'Hair]

Sorry, I meant to explicitly call out the 3 "WARNING:" messages.
The bcopy problem is a separate thing, more serious and needs to be
fix in OpenJDK sources. Glad to hear that IcedTea has them fixed.

The 3 "WARNING:"s are coming from the jdk/make/common/shared/Sanity.gmk
file but they are surrounded with "ifndef OPENJDK" and by default
the variable OPENJDK should be set.
These messages were for the closed or JRL built JDK, and will be deleted soon.

So my concern is, how did they come out in a OPENJDK=true build?
