Hi David, thanks for the info.
But what about  Solaris 10 ?

https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms

mentions 10u6  supported for JDK8 .

And  does  the  11u1 package   developer/gnu-binutils at 2.21.1-0.175.1.0.0.24.0 
  Contain special objcopy patches ?

Best regards, Matthias

GNU objcopy (GNU Binutils) 2.21.1

This is a Solaris 11u1 package.
