I didn't see the original post from Kumar with the log in. :( How was 
this run? I spot a:

> /usr/bin/make -s VERBOSE="-s" LOG_LEVEL="warn" -R

which seems a bit contrary to the fact that it looks like LOG=debug.

Anyway, when producing debug logs, adding JOBS=1 is always a good idea, 
to serialize output.

I always found debugging the hotspot build system especially difficult 
since there's so many levels of makefiles generating makefiles, etc. 
There's apparently a failure in adfiles generation, but as you say, it 
does not appear in the log.

It's for for make. I think we set it globally as a makeflag, to allow us 
to do "include MakeBase.gmk" in the new build system. Apparently it's 
propagating down in the hotspot build as well. Not really used there, 
but not really harmful either.
