contingent review request for 7085944 FDS: gdb does not find debug symbols for libjsig link

[Daniel D. Daugherty]

Dalibor and Edvard,

I don't if you remember the Full Debug Symbols project that I mumbled
about back on August 2... Phase 1 of that project will hopefully be
coming up to JDK7u2 via the next HSX-22 push. Oracle's VM/SQE group
is analyzing the performance impact of the changes and hopes to be
done soon.

Phase 1 of the Full Debug Symbols project will consistent of pushes
to three repos: hotspot, install and jdk. Since the install repo is
on the closed side, I'll send that review request along privately.

I've had the changes reviewed internally and this review request is
just for the JDK changes that enable the JDK to import .debuginfo
files from the hotspot repo. The reason that I'm considering this
to be a contingent request is that I don't have "go" from the VM/SQE
team nor from the Program Management folks.

Here's a pointer to the jdk webrev:

Please note that these changes can't be pushed until after a hotspot
that creates .debuginfo files has been pushed.

Thanks, in advance, for any review and contingent approval.

Dan
