Thats because the successive portupgrades will use the installed native
JDK to bootstrap the build rather than reverting to using the Linux JDK
it had to use originally.  This problem is only seen with the Linux JDK,
it isn't seen with a native JDK.

Same problem - this is the native JDK, it won't show the issue.
