Hi Goetz, Since this is mostly a build change, it need to be reviewed on build-dev.
However, it looks good to me from a build perspective. I have not reviewed the hotspot test files.

Hi, I found that not all libraries are linked with -z,noexecstack. This lead to errors with our linuxppc64 build. The linker omitted the flag altogether, which is interpreted as a lib with execstack. This change contains a small test that scans all libraries in the tested VM to have the noexecstack flag set. It utilizes the elf parser in the VM for this. Further -z,noexecstack is now passed to all libraries. Please review this change. I please need a sponsor. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr17/8187045-execstackLink/webrev.01/ http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr17/8187045-execstackLink/webrev.01-hs/ Best regards, Goetz.
