A big +1 on having this. It would make the life of those of us packaging this for linux distributions quite a bit easier if this was officially supported upstream. > Could you review it? > http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ysuenaga/JDK-8036003/webrev.00/ I am a bit unsure about the interaction of --enable-debug-symols and --with-debug-symbols. Setting ENABLE_DEBUG_SYMBOLS to 'false' for 'internal' seems a bit surprising. Could you clarify why leaving ENABLE_DEBUG_SYMOLS to true is a bad idea?
