Interesting, so this was probably just Kelly trying to get things to build.

There's no (or insufficient for me) clue as to why that change touched
2D/AWTmakefiles.
Perhaps something to do with this comment :

trick on all Unix platforms,

Question for 2d-folks/build-dev folks:
I don't know about this, build folks probably know.
This is from way ahead of my time. The filtering is simply the
build-infra way of achieving the same thing as in the old build
system. Here is the corresponding code in jdk7:
$ hg annotate make/sun/font/Makefile
...
0: #
0: # Created without -z defs on linux
0: #
0: ifeq ($(PLATFORM), linux)
0: LDFLAGS_DEFS_OPTION =
0: endif
