Error compiling dtrace.d on Solaris Nevada b78

[David Kopp]

Hi all,

I am trying to compile the first Mercurial source drop on an Ultra 20 
(x64). I got gmake sanity to pass. However, when I run gmake, I 
eventually end up with the following:


gmake[5]: Entering directory 
`/export/home/koppdk/working/jdk7src/build/solaris-i586/hotspot/outputdir/solaris_i486_compiler2/product'

       x`uname -p` = x"sparc" ]; then\
    echo

    echo "* If you are building server compiler, and the error message

    echo "* \"incorrect ELF machine type...\", you have run into solaris

    echo 
"*****************************************************************";\
  fi;\
  exit $STATUS
dtrace: failed to link script dtrace.d: an error was encountered while 
processing vmGCOperations.o



I  can continue past this if I set HOTSPOT_DISABLE_DTRACE_PROBES=true, 
but then the VM won't link.

Does anyone have any idea as to what might be wrong with vmGCOperations.o?

Thanks,


David
