Is the use of HEADLESS in gcc.make (linux and bsd) an archaeological remnant and should be removed? (No source in the hotspot repo looks a the HEADLESS define.)

Is there any reason to not build a headless version of awt? (ie modify BUILDHEADLESS to not be defined.) It seeems like headless is not currently built on bsd/macosx/windows, but it is built on solaris and linux? //Fredrik Fredrik,

It's being built on macosx as well.
