Need help testing the EA builds

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Mandy,

thanks a lot for your patch. I've just verified that it works
perfectly on AIX and also did some smoke test on Linux (i.e. jstack)
which confirm that the original functionality is still preserved. This
is not a complete review because I'm not a serviceability expert but
with regard to fixing the dependencies on the SA agent in the build
I'm completely happy with your change.

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
