Hello David,

I was told that this was the latest version, we will look better.

Seems that the latest available version on oracle.com is 12.3. We
will give this a try.

Re/ the 12.6 I helped me with this small change:

diff -c hotspot/make/solaris/makefiles/adlc.make*
*** hotspot/make/solaris/makefiles/adlc.make    Thu May 23 11:17:53 2019
--- hotspot/make/solaris/makefiles/adlc.make.orig       Wed Feb 11

***************
*** 74,80 ****
  # CFLAGS_WARN holds compiler options to suppress/enable warnings.
  # Compiler warnings are treated as errors
  ifeq ($(shell expr $(COMPILER_REV_NUMERIC) \>= 509), 1)
!   CFLAGS_WARN = +w 
  endif
  CFLAGS += $(CFLAGS_WARN)
  
--- 74,80 ----
  # CFLAGS_WARN holds compiler options to suppress/enable warnings.
  # Compiler warnings are treated as errors
  ifeq ($(shell expr $(COMPILER_REV_NUMERIC) \>= 509), 1)
!   CFLAGS_WARN = +w -errwarn
  endif
  CFLAGS += $(CFLAGS_WARN)

This let compile the source in question, but we stop here and move over
to 12.3

Thanks again
