We can now drop the cross-compile check in jpeg/Makefile if you are going to

I wondered about that, but wasn't sure. Wanted to make the lowest risk change
at this point.
Unfortunate timing. Now we have unnecessary crud left in the files :(
So one thing I am confused about is the required gcc version. We had bumped it
up to 4.3 because of this no-clobber usage. But now that use of that option is
conditional does that mean we can lower the required gcc version again?
The 4.3.0 required was when we made Fedora 9 our official build system for jdk7.
I didn't think 4.3.0 had anything to do with no-clobber, but I could be wrong.
I has assumed it was the no-clobber usage that required 4.3 otherwise
what forces that requirement? Even if F9 uses 4.3 that doesn't force its
use in other build environments.
