On, and it's not supported by Oracle, of course. One of the Linux
distro companies might be interested though.

linux-sparc used to build and run fine (I did the port way back when),
so it should be relatively easy to resurrect. The original port was on

While gcc compilation on sparc is rare I'm not sure that simply
deleting the sparc-only option unconditionally is the right thing to
do.
I thought about that too. But I was unable to find info on OpenJDK +
SPARC + Linux. Is that combination even supported? The README doesn't
list it:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html#MBE
Linux-sparc is not one of Oracle's supported OpenJDK platforms.
However AFAIK there are people in the community building OpenJDK on
Linux-sparc using the Zero interpreter. I don't know if this would
affect them but it still seems to me that we should be careful not
to break other people's builds.
Ah fair enough. If it is supported, the patch definitely needs to be
fixed. I will re-post.
Thanks for taking a look!

The option seemed more like a relic from Solaris + SPARC config rather
than a requirement for Linux + SPARC.

Hi,
JDK builds currently fail with GCC 4.7 due to its stricter option
checking.
GCC 4.6 and prior ignored invalid options -- GCC 4.7 does not.
Certain
files in JDK supply the -mimpure-text option to GCC. This option
is only
valid on SPARC[1,2]. As a result, GCC 4.7 throws an error during
build
on Linux (I suppose .
This patch removes the option:

If OK for push, please feel free to do so (I don't have commit
