Make Linux 64bit fastdebug builds use -g1 to reduce file bloat due to DWARF2 debug info

      The Linux 64bit debug builds are huge. This is due to 64bit using Dwarf2 debug format in the
      object files. The fastdebug builds could benefit from using -g1 which provides minimal
      debug information (reducing the size of .o and .so files), and might speed up builds a little.
      The 32bit Linux uses stabs debug format, which seems to be compacted when it ends up in the
      .so files and isn't as big a problem.

      The debug builds would not change, only the fastdebug builds, and only on 64bit Linux.

      The j2se makefiles and the hotspot makefiles would need to change.
