OpenJDK 8 on OS/X and XCode 4.

[John Rose]

Recent changes in hsx/hotspot have destabilized the build on mac.  I just pushed another workaround here:

  http://hg.openjdk.java.net/mlvm/mlvm/hotspot/file/tip/mac-tweaks.patch

The buildtree.make change fixes the failure Henri saw.  (Or you can add "ALWAYS_PASS_TEST_GAMMA=true" to the build script settings.)

P.S.  I tried a build with llvm-gcc and got sporadic bus errors.  Went back to gcc-4.0 and things got quieter.
