Going further why is this even an issue? In all interesting cases 
HOTSPOT_BUILD_VERSION should be set on the command-line. The Makefile 
only needs to give a default if it is not set. So why set 
NONFCS_BUILD_INFO when you can set HOTSPOT_BUILD_VERSION in the first 
place?

Any why use the same NONFCS_BUILD_INFO for Hotspot and the JDK when they 
typically report different version strings anyway ???
