[GoogleCodeExporter]

The proposed workaround doesn't work for linux/android, so is a non-starter.
You should be able to specify java_home explicitly to gyp (either via 
$GYP_DEFINES, or via -D on the gyp command-line, or via the windows version of 
~/.gyp/include.gypi) to avoid the fallback to env var here.

BTW I don't think anyone watches this /p/libjingle issue tracker; please use 
the webrtc tracker in future https://code.google.com/p/webrtc/issues/list

If this doesn't work for you, please open a webrtc issue and provide details on 
how you're passing java_home to gyp.
