| Hi Greg, Christos, | | Currently building the jdk with debug symbols fails on OpenBSD and | I suspect at least FreeBSD (since it is disabled in the ports tree | java/openjdk8/Makefile too). This was determined to be caused by | libjli being statically linked on *BSD. [1] | | Statically linking libjli was a work-around introduced in 1.5 or 1.6 | most likely due to the lack of rpath $ORIGIN support in our runtime | linkers. All of the BSD's have rpath $ORIGIN support for several | years now. I propose that we eliminate linking libjli statically and | remove another difference we have in the build when compared to | Linux and Solaris. Dynamically linking libjli fixes the build with | debug symbols. | | Please review/test this diff on FreeBSD and NetBSD and let me know if | you are okay with the change. Works on NetBSD. Just a note, $ORIGIN support is not fully implemented on NetBSD, there is a #ifdef notyet in kern_exec.c... But running java with a full path in $0 works. I'd say apply it if it works for others. christos
