After switching the OpenJDK build to a Fedora devkit (from non-devkit Ubuntu based build) , we were running into issues described here :
https://github.com/SAP/SapMachine/issues/1227 and here : https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt/issues/321 When using the gold linker settings from devkit , the dependency on the obsolete SUNWprivate_1.1 reference caused trouble . Are there any plans to make this : See https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/make/devkit/Tools.gmk#L433 --enable-gold=default \ Configurable ? What was the reason to use the gold linker in the devkits , maybe better performance ? Are there some build time numbers on this ? Best regards, Matthias
