Remove the --disable-zero.

I've actually added a check to catch this at configure time:

changeset:   2728:87847ca9d356

summary:     PR1843: Fail early if there is no native HotSpot JIT & all other options are disabled

so you haven't picked up this latest change. With the same configure options, I get:

checking if a native HotSpot port is available for this architecture... no
...
configure: error: No native HotSpot port available for powerpc and all alternatives disabled.

But either way, you need to drop that option.

Generally, we take time to pick good defaults for the various options, so, unless you have a good
reason and know what you're doing, don't disable them.

Thanks,
