That's because the warning does not cause the build failure. Read the 
logs again. :-)

The real error here is "libjvm.so: not an ELF object" which causes the 
linking to fail for libverify.so. The warning from libjava is just a red 
herring.

Your hotspot build is broken. Try
"make clean-hotspot"
"make hotspot"
and see if you spot any errors. Otherwise you'd probably just left the 
build in a bad state.
