If the environment variable VARIANT is set in the shell prior to
a build, then the value of SUFFIX may be set incorrectly resulting
in the optimized JVM being copied as the debug JVM by
make/java/redist/Makefile :

rm -f ../../../build/solaris-sparc/lib/sparc/server/libjvm_g.so
/usr/bin/cp /usr/local/java/jdk1.4.0/solsparc/jre/lib/sparc/server/libjvm.so
../../../build/solaris-sparc/lib/sparc/server/libjvm_g.so
/usr/bin/echo ../../../build/solaris-sparc/lib/sparc/server/libjvm_g.so >>
../../../build/solaris-sparc/tmp/java/.installed.files
rm -f ../../../build/solaris-sparc/lib/sparc/client/libjvm_g.so
/usr/bin/cp /usr/local/java/jdk1.4.0/solsparc/jre/lib/sparc/client/libjvm.so
../../../build/solaris-sparc/lib/sparc/client/libjvm_g.so
/usr/bin/echo ../../../build/solaris-sparc/lib/sparc/client/libjvm_g.so >>
../../../build/solaris-sparc/tmp/java/.installed.files

The prolem is that Defs.gmk attempts to be slick when setting the
value of SUFFIX:

   #
   # Suffixes for various VARIANTs
   #
   OPT_SUFFIX =
   DBG_SUFFIX = _g
   SUFFIX = $($(VARIANT)_SUFFIX)

If VARIANT is anything but DBG, SUFFIX gets set to the value of
OPT_SUFFIX.

Even more insidious is that if VARIANT is set, then there are not
two builds of each build unit - one with VARIANT=OPT and one with
VARIANT=DBG.
