Hi, After discussion in [1], please review this revised JDK 8u backport of JDK-8148351. When the compiler is a symlink to ccache it'll continue to use it's work-around to keep the Oracle JDK 8 build working. If the compiler isn't a symlink it'll print this as a configure message and won't do the ccache work-around (which it did prior this patch).
Example: Before: checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc checking resolved symbolic links for CC... /usr/bin/gcc checking if CC is disguised ccache... no, keeping CC configure: Using gcc C compiler version 8.1.1 [gcc (GCC) 8.1.1 20180502 (Red Hat 8.1.1-1)] After: checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc checking resolved symbolic links for CC... no symlink configure: Using gcc C compiler version 8.1.1 [gcc (GCC) 8.1.1 20180502 (Red Hat 8.1.1-1)] webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8148351/webrev.02/ Thoughts? Thanks, Severin [1] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2018-June/022444.html
