Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8033292
With the fix for JDK-8031759, I added a check for unknown variables
given on the configure command line.
Unfortunately, this check required that all known variables used by
configure "register" themselves; if this is not done, then the variable
is considered unknown. And not all cases of such variable usages was
checked by me at that time. :-(
A prominent example is MAKE.
While I think the way forward is to properly register all such uses (and
probably unify tool detection even more across the line), at the moment,
this check should be a warning, not an error.
This fix is too small for a webrev; please see inlined patch.
