trying to pass -Wl-z,relro ...

make[3]: Leaving directory

CompileDemos.gmk:310: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8
spaces?).  Stop.
BuildJdk.gmk:93: recipe for target 'demos' failed
make[2]: *** [demos] Error 2

this is a not very robust make macro, and apparently somebody already did see
that with Solaris builds, but did choose to only fix or work-around it for Solaris:

see the comment in jdk/make/CompileDemos.gmk (SetupJVMTIDemo):

  # Workaround for CFLAGS_JDKLIB containing ',' on solaris. If this is added as
'CFLAGS' to the
  # eval call below, the comma gets expanded too early.
