OpenJDK6 build oddity

It seems whenever you do a build of OpenJDK6 you get an empty
'fastdebug' directory, due to the following under setup in the
top-level Makefile:

        $(MKDIR) -p $(OUTPUTDIR)/j2sdk-image
        $(MKDIR) -p $(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/j2sdk-image
        $(MKDIR) -p $(OUTPUTDIR)-fastdebug/j2sdk-image
        $(MKDIR) -p $(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)-fastdebug/j2sdk-image

Shouldn't there be a conditional here so that only the appropriate
mkdir invocations are used?

The logic in OpenJDK7's Makefile is completely different, and doesn't
produce this empty directory.
