Stylistically the hotspot makefiles test a variable/expression against a 
value/constant not the other way around. So:

  ifeq (undefined,$(origin OPENJDK_TARGET_CPU_ENDIAN))

becomes

  ifeq ($(origin OPENJDK_TARGET_CPU_ENDIAN),undefined)

and the same for all the other comparisons you have added.


Sorry.
