sorry for being a bit slow on this...  Erik covered 1 and 2.

I'm not sure what to say here, it's a mess.
I suspect it depends on what Solaris 10 Update release you are starting with.

We have also recently ran into zip failures with 10u6 out of the box, and the recommended 10u6 patches
were required. The list goes on...

Maybe when we get the open jdk wiki up and running (real soon I hope) we can find a place for this kind of stuff.
I'll file 8005376 to cover this.

Filed 8005377   but I think this may be another thing for the open jdk wiki.

Although, I have been distressed that the makefile rules that do this don't comment why it's necessary and when.

I will file 8005378

but I suspect this is a hotspot specific issue, but it needs to be tracked down.

I think this is http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/hotspot/rev/19c1bd641922

Filed 8005379  so we can eventually track this down, but I don't think this is new.
