It is actually still used. Or actually not. It’s complicated and messy. 

The bsd makefile has a lot of logic in it that was copied from the solaris 
makefiles for building jvm_db. But, jvm_db isn't used on OS X (there is no 
support for ustack helpers) so all that logic is never called from vm.make when 
building on OS X:

ifeq ($(OS_VENDOR), Darwin)
# no libjvm_db for macosx
build: $(LIBJVM) $(LAUNCHER) $(LIBJSIG) $(BUILDLIBSAPROC) dtraceCheck
        echo "Doing vm.make build:"
else
build: $(LIBJVM) $(LAUNCHER) $(LIBJSIG) $(LIBJVM_DB) $(BUILDLIBSAPROC)
endif

So you might think that it would be built on other BSDs. But it isn’t because 
the whole jvm_db building stuff in dtrace.make is conditional on only building 
on OS X:

ifeq ($(OS_VENDOR), Darwin)

In short: it’s a mess. I didn’t clean this up, but maybe a future change will. 
Or maybe the hotspot makefile rewrite will.
