Hi I need two reviewers for
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ptbrunet/JDK-8134453/webrev.00/

This problem started in 8u60 b20 and is due to JDK-8078649 which is a
backport of JDK-8043160. In this fix the text "LEGACY" in file
jdk/make/lib/PlatformLibraries.gmk was changed to "legacy". The lower
case legacy is used in a -D compiler flag and as a result doesn't
activate lines like this in the source code:

#ifdef ACCESSBRIDGE_ARCH_LEGACY

This causes problems with 32 bit builds for 32 bit Win.

I tested the fix by doing a 32 bit Win build and then installing and
testing that build on a 32 bit Win 7 VM.

Pete
