Building OpenJDK 1.8 on Solaris SPARC 10 fails with compiler error

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Matthias,

We're building Solaris builds from the same source over at
https://adoptopenjdk.net - feel free to use those binaries (
https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html#sparcv9_solaris) and/or our build
scripts (github.com/adoptopenjdk/openjdk-build).  When there are genuine
upstream fixes to the build scripts, we send patches upstream to here
(OpenJDK proper), but mostly it's configuring things just so :-).

Cheers,
Martijn
