Can't reproduce that warning in my builds (are you having
-Xlint:unchecked enabled in the new build system somehow?), but good
catch! There is the preceding instanceof check that ought to make this
cast safe now. Also we don't need to declare locals as T in equals().

Please try this:

This seems a trivial change, so I only tested java/lang/invoke
regression tests afterwards, those are OK.
