Question about BUILD_HEADLESS and HEADLESS

Is the use of HEADLESS in gcc.make (linux and bsd) an archaeological
remnant and should be removed? (No source in the hotspot repo looks a
the HEADLESS define.)

Is there any reason to not build a headless version of awt? (ie modify
BUILD_HEADLESS to not be defined.)
It seeems like headless is not currently built on bsd/macosx/windows,
but it is built on solaris and linux?
