SUGGESTED FIX Please, see the webrev hs_sscc.Nov28.tar.gz with suggested fix in attachments. The fix has been prepared by the Sun Studio Compilers Team (Vladimir Klimov). The USE_SUNCC macro must be passed to gnumake to build VM with the Sun Studio Compilers. Original versions of webrevs from Vladimir Klimov: - First webrev passed on to the HotSpot VM team for review: http://sunprowww.sfbay/home/vk154045/hs.webrev.v3/index.html - Complete webrev with amd64 and USE_SUNCC functionality included: http://techpubs.eng.sun.com/home/vk154045/jdk/hs.webrev.v5/ - Final webrev where the SPARC_WORKS macro is used instead of __SUNPRO_C and __SUNPRO_CC: http://techpubs.eng.sun.com/home/vk154045/jdk/hs.webrev.v6/ This is the original webrev comment from Vladimir: Vladimir V.
