Failure building icedtea7-forest-2.5

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

I tried building icedtea7-forest-2.5 today and ran into a build failure:

cc -m64 -Xlinker -O1 -Wl,--hash-style=both  -Xlinker -z -Xlinker noexecstack -m64 -Xlinker -export-dynamic  -L `pwd` -o gamma launcher/java_md.o launcher/wildcard.o launcher/jli_util.o launcher/java.o -ljvm -lm -ldl -lpthread

This looks somewhat similar to
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8048214 and applying the fix
for that [1] locally makes the build work again.

Does it make sense to push this fix to icedtea7-forest-2.5?

Thanks,
Omair
