Yes, simple build fixes are almost always welcome.

There are rare occasions when a change poses a risk to builds on common configurations. Another 
possible point of contention might be doing considerable rewrites to accommodate unusual build 
configurations. The benefits for those should generally outweigh the maintenance burden.

 From experience, builds often need a few light touches here and there, so these risks might never 
actually materialize as blockers. Feel free to submit PRs against openjdk/jdk and see where it goes.
