Building open-jdk7 en gentoo

[Kelly O'Hair]

I imagine there are probably hundreds of variable names that if set in the environment,
could impact the build, on purpose or by accident :^(.
We do check for JAVA_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Is JAVAC some kind of typical or standard environment variable that people set?
I've never seen any use of the name JAVAC in the environment.
If it's a common use, then yes, maybe a sanity check is in order.
