Writing to /bin and /lib ?

[Erik Joelsson]

This looks like you need to rerun configure. Some variables were moved 
to spec.gmk for global use, among them the directories for the j2sdk and 
j2re images. If you haven't rerun configure, these variables won't be set.

You might wonder why make would let you run with an out of date 
configuration. I did too and fixed that in a later change so make will 
fail and tell you to rerun configure.
