Building on Solaris

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Andrew,

The current devkits basically contain the SS12u3 installation and a 
sysroot from a Solaris 10u10 machine. It should still compile on a pure 
Solaris 11 machine, but it's not tested as often. If you are able to 
construct a sysroot from a Solaris 10 machine and want to use it, just 
point to it using configure option --with-sysroot. I might be able to 
dig up some more detailed instructions of how this was created if you 
like to.

I'm in the process of updating the compilers we use for jdk9 and it's 
currently looking to happen around September. The current intention is 
to use SS12u4 with a sysroot from Solaris 11.1 for Solaris builds. This 
time I also intend to supply the scripts used to create the devkit in 
the openjdk source, so you should be able to replicate that work if you 
wish to.
