Hello all; This request is for a 7u specific change (not a backport) the makefiles to ensure that _BIG_ENDIAN is defined for linux/sparc platforms. The JDK8 and JDK9 projects use a different makefile system and no change is needed there.
The issue was previously reviewed on build-dev and this list and has been approved there. The proposed changeset is the same as was reviewed. Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8043210 Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mikael/webrevs/8043210/webrev.00/webrev/ Thanks, Mike
