I tried it out and ran into a bit of a snag: $ bash ../autoconf/configure checking for readlink... /usr/bin/readlink checking for apt-get... no checking for yum... yum checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep checking for gawk... gawk [ snip ] checking if dynamic link of stdc++ is possible... yes checking if static link of stdc++ is possible... no configure: Static linking of libstdc++ was not possible reverting to dynamic linking. checking how to link with libstdc++... dynamic [ snip ] ==================================================== A new configuration has been successfully created in /home/omajid/devel/jdk8-build/build/linux-x64-normal-server-release using default settings.

I have built other variants of openjdk 7 and 8 on this machine before using dynamic linking (STATIC_CXX=false), so I was expecting this to work. Is there any additional information I can provide to help? Thanks, Omair
