RFR: 8161145: The min/max macros make hotspot tests fail to build with GCC 6

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

Erik -- I think this is worth fixing in 9, given that GCC 6 is no longer
new and the sustaining lines of 9 will be around for a while.  Would you
mind pushing it to 9, from which it will automatically be forward-ported
to 10?  I'd be happy to approve the fix request.

Thanks,
- Mark
