Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8033292

With the fix for JDK-8031759, I added a check for unknown variables given on the configure command line.

Unfortunately, this check required that all known variables used by configure "register" themselves; if this is not done, then the variable is considered unknown. And not all cases of such variable usages was checked by me at that time. :-(

A prominent example is MAKE.

While I think the way forward is to properly register all such uses (and probably unify tool detection even more across the line), at the moment, this check should be a warning, not an error.

This fix is too small for a webrev; please see inlined patch.
