For example, for ARM we supply `--openjdk-target=arm-linux-gnueabihf`, but `OPENJDK_TARGET_AUTOCONF_NAME` is `arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf`, which is not the same as the subdirectory `arm-linux-gnueabihf`. I don't see how can I get the original `--openjdk-target` provided by user here. Seems to me it is not passed to autoconf?

This is certainly much better. Would it make sense to replace "linux" with $OPENJDK_TARGET_OS as well, just to avoid having any hard coded values there?
