JDK-4426304 - AWT solaris build changes
Description
Currently the files in libmawt.so are being compiled three times (six if you count debug), once each for motif 1.2, 2.1, and headless.  We can speed up build time if we compile the files for 1.2 and 2.1 and only link them into different libraries.  For technical reasons, this may not be possible, but it merits investigation.
Comments
EVALUATION Actually, we've sort of fixed it, it seems, but now it's irrelevant since Motif is phased out in jdk7.
