Hi, build-dev,

(please, keep me in CC as I'm not subscribed to this mailing list)

I'm (again) trying to build JDK8 on my Windows box using new build 
infrastructure, based on autoconf. The build fails somewhere in JLI 
section. I can't provide the error log right now, as I've already found 
the workaround:

1. Add cmdtoargs.c to the list of compiled files

Without it the linker complains about unresolved JLI_GetStdArgs and 
JLI_GetStdArgc symbols

2. Add several -export: flags, so all the required JLI functions are 
exported and can be found by launcher sources (main.c)

Note that the old Makefiles do contain both cmdtoargs.c and exports 
listed above. I'm not an expert in building JDK, so it's quite possible 
I'm just doing something wrong.

Anyway, here is the webrev:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~art/jdk8/build-jli-cmdtoargs/

Please, let me know if this is a bug or a feature and if I need to file 
a new change request or not.

Thanks,

Artem
