I believe it is fair to say that this issue affects *all* Linux distributions attempting to build from an upstream OpenJDK tree. This is to stress that it's a significant issue and it keeps creeping up (the issue being debug symbols in Java class files and natives - hotspot and JDK). I'm *very* interested to help find a solution to this once and for all. FWIW, there are a couple of checks we perform that during Fedora OpenJDK builds in an attempt to ensure that hotspot debug symbols are there: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/java-1.8.0-openjdk.git/tree/java-1.8.0-openjdk.spec#n1160 Similarly, Java debug info is checked this way: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/java-1.8.0-openjdk.git/tree/java-1.8.0-openjdk.spec#n1177 Wouldn't it be possible to add similar checks to the OpenJDK builds system? This is to ensure that it doesn't regress again. Thoughts? Finally, I've created this bug in order to track this: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8073461 Thanks, Severin
