RFR[8u] JDK-8235903: GCC default -fno-common exposes "multiple definition" link errors

[Patrick Zhang OS]

Hi Leslie, 

Thanks for the proposed backport, it is good to me (not a reviewer here). I noticed the patches had been backported to 11u last week.

A reminder: you probably need to add "jdk8u-fix-request" at all the three sub-tasks, provide a webrev if it could not be applied cleanly,  then ask for maintainers' approval. FYI, the process: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/jdk8u

Regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I would like to backport the fix for:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8235903

To OpenJDK 8 updates dev:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u-dev

The fix is mostly the same as the version that was committed in 15.

Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~lzhai/8235903-8u/

Thanks,

Leslie Zhai
