official compiler for Solaris jdk9 build?

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Semyon,

Solaris Studio 12.3 is the correct version. However, internally we use 
devkits with the compiler and system headers/libraries all packaged 
together (details in separate mail). The devkits still use headers and 
libraries from Solaris 10u10 for compatibility with that release. We 
normally run the build on Solaris 11.1.
