This is a great optimization.
A couple comments.
Platform.gmk:
Haven't quite figured out why if MAKELEVEL=0 you export $1:=$2, but only
export $1 if MAKELEVEL != 0. Sure there's a good reason why, doc'ing it
would be appreciated.
48/49: (if $(strip $1)...
according to the gnumake docs:
$(if condition,then-part[,else-part])
The first argument, condition, first has all preceding and trailing
whitespace stripped, then is expanded...
I don't think you need to specifically strip.
I like the $(or...) mods. Cleans up the logic very nicely.
Defs-windows.gmk
Not sure why you added 2 spaces of indention on lines 85-87.

6875240: Reduce Makefile build time by limiting repeated exec's (mostly
for cygwin building)
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ohair/openjdk7/jdk7-build-cygwin/webrev/
The Windows cygwin builds will benefit the most on this, but
all platforms will get some benefits.
Comments and suggestions on this are welcome.
