You are absolutely right. It just a minor oversight when Magnus
restructured and
modularized the autconf source files. There are in fact three more places where
OPENJDK_BUILD_OS is used before its value is set. In BASIC_INIT and two
places where MAKE_SPACE_SAFE is called. I am sure it will be relatively easy
to fix.
