permission issues when running make

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

On a problematic repo I tried to compare the spec.gmk before/after the 
configure run - there's a difference which seems to be causing this issue:

The buggy spec.gmk (which causes the permission issues) has this:

BUILD_OUTPUT:=/w/master/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release
# Colon left out to be able to override IMAGES_OUTPUTDIR for 
bootcycle-images
SUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR=$(BUILD_OUTPUT)/support
BUILDTOOLS_OUTPUTDIR=$(BUILD_OUTPUT)/buildtools

HOTSPOT_OUTPUTDIR=$(BUILD_OUTPUT)/hotspot
JDK_OUTPUTDIR=$(BUILD_OUTPUT)/jdk
IMAGES_OUTPUTDIR=$(BUILD_OUTPUT)/images
BUNDLES_OUTPUTDIR=$(BUILD_OUTPUT)/bundles
TESTMAKE_OUTPUTDIR=$(BUILD_OUTPUT)/test-make
MAKESUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR=$(BUILD_OUTPUT)/make-support

while the new one has this:

OUTPUTDIR := /w/master/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release
# Colon left out to be able to override IMAGES_OUTPUTDIR for 
bootcycle-images
SUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR=$(OUTPUTDIR)/support
BUILDTOOLS_OUTPUTDIR=$(OUTPUTDIR)/buildtools

HOTSPOT_OUTPUTDIR=$(OUTPUTDIR)/hotspot
JDK_OUTPUTDIR=$(OUTPUTDIR)/jdk
IMAGES_OUTPUTDIR=$(OUTPUTDIR)/images
BUNDLES_OUTPUTDIR=$(OUTPUTDIR)/bundles
TESTMAKE_OUTPUTDIR=$(OUTPUTDIR)/test-make
MAKESUPPORT_OUTPUTDIR=$(OUTPUTDIR)/make-support


Seems like BUILD_OUTPUT was renamed into OUTPUTDIR ?

Still, not 100% what's up.
