RFR(M): 8186072: dll_build_name returns true even if file is missing.

Hi,

could I please get a second review?
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr17/8186072-dllBuildName-hs/webrev.04

I had to update the webrev because of a problem on windows.
@Thomas I had edited os.hpp, but not saved :(

Best regards,
  Goetz.

PS: Didn't double-check the webrev as cr server is slow.
