Need reviewers. (Omair, you will want to verify this works for IcedTea).
Some background: this changeset:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/rev/47f6b7db1882
Created some issues for people setting ALT_OUTPUTDIR to a vanilla path like /tmp/foobar.
The expectation was that a debug build would show up in /tmp/foobar-debug, but it was showing
up in /tmp/OS-ARCH-debug.
The original changeset was mostly dealing with a Windows issue where you cannot just append
characters to an existing path and expect that path to be valid, so a technique of doing a /../ was used.
This fix tries to make it a bit more obvious what is going on, although I have to admit it's a confusing
situation regardless.
