@erikj79 I couldn't get it to work. I believe the following is evaluated only
once, so `$(JVM_VARIANT)` is bound to the value when HotspotCommon.gmk is
loaded:
check-jvm-feature = \
$(strip \
$(if $(filter-out $(VALID_JVM_FEATURES), $1), \
$(error Internal error: Invalid feature tested: $1)) \
$(if $(filter $1, $(JVM_FEATURES_$(JVM_VARIANT))), true, false))
So I would need to run a submake in order to get this function to behave
differently for each variant. That's going to be complicated in order to
support multiple JVM variants per build.
I heard that we are going to remove multiple variant support (?), so maybe this
is not worth it.
