Build shark against llvm 3.0 on mac os x

[Volker Simonis]

I don't think this error is OS X related.
I suppose that nobody has implemented MethodHandles/JSR292 for the
Zero-Port until now.

6939861 is the bug id for "6939861: JVM should handle more conversion
operations"
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6939861 which is
apparently not yet implemented.

Volker
