Review request: 8055856: checkdeps build target doesn't work for cross-compilation builds

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Mandy,

Looks good. Just noticed another thing in CheckModules.gmk. You can 
remove the explicit FIXPATH as the variable JAVA already contains it. In 
general, only spec.gmk should need to worry about FIXPATH.

If there are no other changes, I don't need to see another round before 
you push.
