official compiler for Solaris jdk9 build?

[Tim Bell]

Hi

I would not recommend copying files off some other system.

The last time I started with a brand-new minimal Solaris 11.x install, I 
needed to add:

sudo pkg install gnu-tar system/header system/picl x11/library/libx11 
x11/library/libxrender x11/library/libxext x11/library/libxtst 
x11/library/toolkit/libxt x11/library/libxi developer/assembler 
print/cups library/print/cups-libs

Some of these packages are required for building OpenJDK, but not for 
closed Oracle product builds.  (CUPS, for example)

I am planning to set up a new Solaris 11.1 system later today - will 
check and send a follow-up if I discover more packages to install.

Tim
