RFR: JDK-8227715: GPLv2 files missing Classpath Exception

[Adam Farley8]

Hi Alan,

Removing jobjc will require changes to a bunch of files. If there's 
support for it, I can do the work, but we should split it into a seperate 
bug.

So the questions are:

1) Can I get a second opinion on the complete removal of everything jobjc 
(in a seperate bug)?

2) What are peoples' thoughts on having the Classpath Exception added to 
the remaining three files?

-- 
jdk/make/src/classes/build/tools/generatelsrequivmaps/EquivMapsGenerator.java 

-- jdk/make/src/native/add_gnu_debuglink/add_gnu_debuglink.c 
-- jdk/make/src/native/fix_empty_sec_hdr_flags/fix_empty_sec_hdr_flags.c 

Best Regards
