Problems building OpenJDK 8 for MacOSX

[Weijun Wang]

My output looks like

$ bash ../../configure | grep X11
checking what is not needed on an X11 build on MacOSX?... alsa pulse
checking for X... libraries /usr/X11/lib, headers /usr/X11/include
checking for X11/extensions/shape.h... yes
checking for X11/extensions/Xrender.h... yes
checking for X11/extensions/XTest.h... yes

Notice the extra "checking for X" line.
