port.hpp build error on Ubuntu 8.10

[Jesse Glick]

Ubuntu 8.10, all updates incl. libc6-dev "2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7". Just fetched latest sources from http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/ forest.

Removing -Werror does not help.

BTW it would be great if there were a continuous build somewhere which applied all updates to popular distros like Ubuntu and tried to build latest JDK sources.
