      After https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173834 Erik Joelsson suggested a few more adjustments to the jspawnhelper build :

      * Inline BUILD_JSPAWNHELPER_SRC, JSPAWNHELPER_CFLAGS, BUILD_JSPAWNHELPER_DST_DIR and LINK_JSPAWNHELPER_OBJECTS.
      Since these variables aren't conditionally changed anywhere, there is really no need for the indirection.

      * The whole business of "BUILD_JSPAWNHELPER_LDFLAGS +=
      $(COMPILER_TARGET_BITS_FLAG)64" is confusing to me. Don't we trust the compiler for a 64 bit target to produce a 64 bit binary given the
       standard CFLAGS_JDKEXE and LDFLAGS_JDKLIB? I suspect this is just very old and confused code

      * The src dir only has the one src file, no need to explicitly list it for include.

      * The adding of childproc.o to LIBS can be accomplished using the parameter EXTRA_OBJECT_FILES. By using that you automatically get the dependency declaration so you can remove the line
      "$(BUILD_JSPAWNHELPER): $(LINK_JSPAWNHELPER_OBJECTS)"

      * The ifeq ($(BUILD_JSPAWNHELPER), 1) is also annoying, just move the
       single conditional into it's place.
