I don't know of any other changes that need merging. However, it would
be very helpful also to have this in shenandoah/jdk8u repo because it
ensures that anyone can build the repo on fedora, not just those who
know the necessary black magic. I'm particularly thinking of JBoss staff
like Andy Miller (who recently wanted to build and a Shenandoah
slowdebug JVM and then debug it using gdb). So, unless there is a good
reason not to merge just this one change could we please have it?
