Not a secret -- just I don't have the details for either the Ubuntu or
F20 problem.

Hmm, that looks familiar (I think the problem was somewhere under the
bfd build :-)

Juan, I have pushed this fix to our binutils repo. Could you try
rebuilding with this patch applied?

n.b. the easiest way to rebuild is to execute this in your jdk8 tree

  rm -rf ../binutils
  rm -rf hotspot/src/share/tools/hsdis
  rm -f
build/linux-aarch64-normal-server-slowdebug/images/j2sdk-image/jre/lib/aarch64/hsdis-aarch64.so
  bash sim_compile

the last step will clone the updated binutils repo then rebuild/install
hsdis-aarch64.so

Meanwhile, I will contact the people who were having problems on Ubuntu
and ask them to report details of the problem they were having.

regards,
