I know it's a little late, but I wanted to point out that this patch (sort of)
breaks using ALT_OUTPUTDIR and doing debug builds. If I set
ALT_OUTPUTDIR=/some/dir, the debug build is placed in
/some/$(PLATFORM)-$(ARCH)-$(DEBUGNAME) instead of /some/dir-$(DEBUGNAME). Is
this intentional and using ALT_OUTPUTDIR like this not supported? 

In IcedTea6, we carry a patch [1] that effectively reverts this changeset just
so that we can avoid this strange behaviour.

Thanks,
Omair
