Some Linux distros have started to adopt a "multiarch" filesystem layout for
shared libraries in order to support the installation of packages for multiple
hardware architectures on a single system. For more information see, e.g.,
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch.
In Ubuntu 11.10 the ALSA shared library, libasound2, was converted to the
multiarch format and so its files moved from their old location, /usr/lib,
to /usr/lib/${ARCH_TRIPLET}. This caused the JDK build to fail when linking
the Java sound library. The root cause appears to be that gcc only tries to
resolve undefined symbols against a multiarch library if the library is named
on the command line after the object files containing those symbols.
The fix is simply to move -lasound to the end of the gcc invocation.
I'll push this into JDK 8. It would trivially backport to 7.

Mark,
The patch is correct, but in order to follow the convention in most
other makefiles, I advice to use OTHER_LDLIBS instead of EXTRA_LIBS. I
have tested this patch locally on Ubuntu 11.10-x64 for most branches for
OpenJDK 6, 7 and 8 and meant to commit it earlier but... please go ahead.
Thank
/Robert
