JDK-8081770 - [TESTBUG] regression Test7107135 needs to remove dependence on locally installed gcc
Description
The stack size specified is too small, Specify at least 384k
Test started with pid: 86114

From Dan D:

hotspot/test/runtime/StackGuardPages/exeinvoke.c:

  options[0].optionString = "-Xint";
  options[1].optionString = "-Xss328k";
  options[2].optionString = javaclasspathopt;

  vm_args.version = JNI_VERSION_1_2;
  vm_args.ignoreUnrecognized = JNI_TRUE;
  vm_args.options = options;
  vm_args.nOptions = 3;

  if (JNI_CreateJavaVM (&_jvm, (void **)&env, &vm_args) < 0 ) {
    fprintf(stderr, "Test ERROR. Can't create JavaVM\n");
    exit(7);
  }

Don't know where that magic "-Xss328k" came from, but it's
not going to work on a platform (ARM64) that requires 384K.
Comments
The option setting the stack size needs to be increased to 384k in hotspot/test/runtime/StackCuardPages/exeinvoke.c. The testme.sh script has been replaced by the exeinvoke.c file.
