It's great that you tried this, thanks.

As far as I can tell, this seems to be a sparcv9 Solaris 11.1 issue, because I tried Solaris 11.1 X64 and it worked fine.
However, the link of libhprof.so IS missing the -lc option.
So why sparcv9 would complain and amd64 would not is a bit puzzling.

The change I think needs to be made is:

diff --git a/makefiles/CompileNativeLibraries.gmk b/makefiles/CompileNativeLibraries.gmk
--- a/makefiles/CompileNativeLibraries.gmk
+++ b/makefiles/CompileNativeLibraries.gmk
@@ -1807,7 +1807,7 @@
 BUILD_LIBHPROF_LDFLAGS:=
 
 ifeq ($(OPENJDK_TARGET_OS),solaris)
-     BUILD_LIBHPROF_LDFLAGS += -lsocket -lnsl
+     BUILD_LIBHPROF_LDFLAGS += -lsocket -lnsl -lc
 endif
 
 LIBHPROF_OPTIMIZATION:=HIGHEST



But I have not tested it yet.
Did you want to give this patch a spin?
