At least for me, I'm not using the new build environment at all.  (I 
think RE is doing the same when building the JCE jar files):

     % cd jdk/make
     % make381 all

That is, NEWBUILD doesn't exist in this build hierarchy.

As for adding JAVAC_WARNINGS_FATAL=false, I thought we were keeping 
warnings fatal here to so that folks running builds in this environment 
can the developers know they are introducing warnings/crud into their code?

Erik is now more aware of our JCE build problems, so hopefully we won't 
be far behind.  I was surprised to hear deploy still has the dependency.
