JDK7 Solaris Studio compilers

[Kelly O'Hair]

Just a heads up on an approaching change to the version of the Solaris  
compilers we use for jdk7 builds.

Currently the jdk7 repositories expect to be built with the Solaris  
Studio 12 (SS12) compilers, but
soon that will be changing to the Solaris Studio 12 Update 1 (SS12u1)  
compilers (technically
SS12u1 plus some additional compiler patches, which are critical for  
SS12u1 to work for us).

The sanity checks are very forgiving and the worst case scenario is a  
sanity warning message,
so the brave ones could change their PATH and ALT_COMPILER_PATH  
settings now.
However, keep in mind, this change is not official yet.

You can download SS12u1 compilers at this URL:

Below is the list of patches that were applied to the SS12u1 compilers.
