The fix for "8149115: [hidpi] Linux: display-wise scaling factor should probably be taken into account" changed the prototype for getNativeScaleFactor() in systemScale.h from:

int getNativeScaleFactor();

to

double getNativeScaleFactor();

But forgot to add the "char*" parameter to the signature which is required by the implementation in systemScale.c (and the various call sites):

double getNativeScaleFactor(char *output_name) {

This leads to the following waring/error:

/OpenJDK/jdk9-hs-comp-s390x/jdk/src/java.desktop/unix/native/libawt_xawt/awt/awt_GraphicsEnv.c: In function ���Ja

If we fix that we will get:

I observed these warnings/errors with 4.8.5 and it is a miracle for me why newer versions of GCC (apparently 4.9.2 which seems to be Oracles officially supported compiler according to  https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms) or gcc 5.4.0 whiohc I've tried on Ubuntu 16.04 don't detect this problem?
