JDK 8 fix for this issue. For readers not familiar with Mac OS, this is to fix an issue which Apple's JDK 6 supports, but we broke in the jdk 7 initial port. The preferred native library file suffix is .dylib on Mac, but some legacy libraries use the suffix .jnilib. Currently openjdk on mac does not recognise the .jnilib suffix.

This change is to restore that behavior

If this change is accepted, we will look for approval to make the same change in 7u4.

Thanks,
Michael.

    The loadLibrary0() calls on lines 1826 and 1839 are not followed
    by the new alternate name retry. It looks like these two locations
    could benefit.
