Kumar,
This looks okay to me and the change in java_md.c is mostly bringing
back what you purged.
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/diff/de45eac5670e/src/solaris/bin/java_md.c
I briefly compared this fix with that changeset and a lot of testing to
verify this fix. Minor comment:
java_md.c a typo in L128 "propogate" - should be "propagate"
test/tools/launcher/Test7029048.java: should it be marked with
"othervm" test in @run clause?

Hello core-libs friends,
Background:
Earlier in the jdk7 development setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH was purged
in the launcher, this is a good thing!, Joe has an excellent blog
which explains
the rational etc. etc. here:

More background:
Unfortunately!, the library versioning that Kelly proposed earlier on
build-dev,
<attached here for reference > is infeasible for jdk7, though this
is the correct
approach.
Thus the approach contained here, allows us to provide a transitional
path to the
version scheme in the future. This is also the reason, the c-code is
encapsulated
within a conditional and the test has been separated, such that these
can be jettisoned
when required.
This explains the current proposed fix:
