Description
This issue affects building hotspot for Solaris 8 (i.e. JDK6), on virtual machines
(branded zoenes) in the jprt sust queue.

hotspot pulls cpu information from Solaris' kstat, and I see from my failing builds on the
sust jprt queue, that hotspot doesn't like it (asserts) when "UNSUPPORTED" is the answer
from kstat_lookup(..."cpu_info"...).

# Internal Error (/tmp/jprt/P1/120739.kevinwa/source/src/os_cpu/solaris_sparc/vm/vm_version_solaris_sparc.cpp:205),
pid=504, tid=2
# assert(strstr(impl, "SPARC") != NULL) failed: should be sparc
#
Comments
EVALUATION Remove assert. Warn in debug mode only. Only relevant where building on Solaris 8 is supported, i.e. JDK6 fix is required.
