Build failure in JObjC

[Kelly O'Hair]

It is rare that a new version of gnu make causes problems, but it does happen.
I vaguely recall an issue with gnu make 3.82 but I can't remember now what it was,
Windows has issues but that was unique to windows and drive letter paths.

Android seemed to have issues with gnu make 3.82:

I wonder what the specific issue was?

I also made sure 1.6.0_30 was my Java 6 JDK. I had been building with both of those tools for a while without any problems.
