hsdis build

[Baesken, Matthias]

Hello, I wanted to try the hsdis build  (on Linux x86_64) .
After no success my system binutils, I  downloaded the sources and used these configure options :

   --with-hsdis=binutils   --with-binutils-src=/mydir/binutils/binutils-2.42.90

The configure part does not complain, and seems the binutils are built.
But no hsdis  shared lib shows up after the  jdk  build is over.

Then I found the  --enable-hsdis-bundling   configure flag and when adding it,  the hsdis build seems to work,  the file  ./images/jdk/lib/hsdis-amd64.so    is present after the build.

Should we maybe check for    --enable-hsdis-bundling     or warn/fail  in case it is not set together with the      --with-hsdis    ?

Another issue on my SUSE  Linux box was that libopcodes.a  was not detected correctly when using a pre-built   binutils dir.   The folder  lib was taking but this one was in lib64 .


Best regards, Matthias
