Hi Kelly,

Need reviewers. (Omair, you will want to verify this works for IcedTea).

Some background: this changeset:
   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/rev/47f6b7db1882
Created some issues for people setting ALT_OUTPUTDIR to a vanilla path like 
/tmp/foobar.
The expectation was that a debug build would show up in /tmp/foobar-debug, but 
it was showing
up in /tmp/OS-ARCH-debug.
The original changeset was mostly dealing with a Windows issue where you cannot 
just append
characters to an existing path and expect that path to be valid, so a technique 
of doing a /../ was used.

This fix tries to make it a bit more obvious what is going on, although I have 
to admit it's a confusing
situation regardless.

7043700: Regression for IcedTea builds

Thanks for creating a patch. Sorry, but it took me a little while to tests this out - the patch is a little hard to read (and I cant follow the logic of most of the changes). Unfortunately it seems to have a bug (or am I building it wrong?).

I used the following command to build:
$ ALLOW_DOWNLOADS=true LANG=C ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java-openjdk/ ALT_OUTPUTDIR=/home/omajid/temp/openjdk7/builds/new-build make debug_build

But the build directory doesn't look quite right:

$ pwd
/home/omajid/temp/openjdk7/builds
$ ls
new-build  new-build-debug
$ ls new-build
bundles  source-bundles  tmp
$ ls new-build-debug/
j2sdk-image
$ ls new-build-debug/j2sdk-image/
bin btjars corba gennativesrc impsrc j2sdk-image langtools sanityCheckMessages.txt symbols btbins bundles demo gensrc include jaxp lib source-bundles tmp btclasses classes democlasses hotspot j2re-image jaxws sample source_tips

The j2sdk-image directory contains another j2sdk-iamge directory :(

I suspect this is the cause (from the patch):

-               
ALT_OUTPUTDIR=$(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/../$(PLATFORM)-$(ARCH)-$(DEBUG_NAME) \
+               ALT_OUTPUTDIR=$(ABS_OUTPUTDIR)/$(REL_JDK_IMAGE_DIR) \

REL_JDK_IMAGE_DIR ends with j2sdk-image. I suppose you might want to create another variable which is REL_JDK_IMAGE_DIR without the j2sdk-image part and use that with ALT_OUTPUTDIR.

Thanks,
Omair
