Agree, have you got any good ideas about inspecting the headers and 
libraries? especially for the integrity of a binary library, 'nm libaaa' ?

This line is added because there may not be a definition of 
CC_PROGRAM_OUTPUT_FLAG in jdk/make/common/Defs-<platform>.gmk for all 
Unix's, so this line will make the little application pass the 
compilation even without a Defs-<platform>.gmk.

And if this change is OK, do you plan to push it?
