Yeah, I wanted to avoid touching anything else since I cant test all of
these combinations locally. But you are right, the suggested approach is
more readable.

Updated webrev:

zeroshark should work on both 32-bit and 64 bit. That said, there's
likely other problems with it at the moment. I don't see a jvm.cfg file
for shark, so I am not sure which jvm.cfg it is meant to use. I suspect
it also has compilation problems but I haven't attempted building it
recently - it's quite picky about the right llvm version (2.9, last I
checked) and I don't have that handy.

Would it be okay if I were to come back to zeroshark later?

Thanks,
Omair
