It'd be good for Erik to repeat his full testing with
this patch included in case it blocked other issues
from being observed.

This fix can be integrated after the sync from jdk/client.

 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8205055

Proposed fix:

The if should test
ifeq ($(TOOLCHAIN_TYPE), solstudio)
since this is a compiler issue, not an OS issue.

Ideally, it should also test if using version 12.6, but unfortunately there's currently no elegant way of expressing that in the makefiles, so I'm OK with the workaround of just having a comment. I assume, from the name and a quick glance at the file, that the contents makes it unlikely that a lowevered optimization level wouldprovoke a performance regression in pre-12.6 solstudio compilations.

Still, it would be nice if you are able to drill down the issue to figure out exactly why a higher optimization level causes this file to be incorrectly compiled. It might be code in hotspot with undefined behavior, or it might be bugs in solstudio. In any case, it should be addressed. As an initial fix to allow compilation to proceed, this is fine, though.
