Thanks for all the comments. I think we have removed the most egregious 
changes
to the shared code. In most cases what remains are changes in files that 
already
have (other) platform specific changes.
For files that have introduced mac specific changes where there weren't 
any platform specific
code before then I think I agree with Alan, it might be better for the 
component teams to
deal with this in their own time. We certainly have some work to do in 
networking/core libs
for that. Also, build changes may end up being moot anyway, given the up 
coming build-infra work.

I'm making the other changes per your specific comments.

Thanks for pointing that out. It only affected OPENJDK builds. All the
testing I had done so far was just on closed builds. I'm taking the patch
mentioned by Henri as it keeps the original build options on other 
platforms.
