b39 build problems on Ubuntu 8.10

[niwi at sics.se]

Hi,
I am trying to build the open JDK from source (using the b39 snapshot
release) on Ubuntu 8.10, but I get the following error message:

In file included from ../generated/incls/_precompiled.incl:286:
/home1/niwi/record-replay/java/openJava/fifth-try/hotspot/src/share/vm/libadt/port.hpp:
In function 'void bcopy(const void*, void*, size_t)':
/home1/niwi/record-replay/java/openJava/fifth-try/hotspot/src/share/vm/libadt/port.hpp:40:
error: 'void bcopy(const void*, void*, size_t)' redeclared inline without
'gnu_inline' attribute
/usr/include/bits/string3.h:90: error: 'void bcopy(const void*, void*,
size_t)' previously defined here


The sanity test passes, but with the following warnings:

WARNING: The official linux builds use OS version 2.4.9-e.3.
You appear to be using OS version 2.6.27-7-generic.

WARNING: The build is being done on Linux Unknown linux.
The official linux builds use Linux Advanced Server,
specifically Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS.
The version found was '2.6.27-7-generic'.

WARNING: The linux compiler is not version 3.2
Specifically the GCC compiler.
You appear to be using compiler version: 4.3
The compiler was obtained from the following location:
/usr/bin/


Any suggestions?

Thanks
