Try again with build-dev cc'd ..

I agree with what Erik said on build-dev that being specific about the tool chain and the reason are worthwhile and important. We've done that in similar cases.

Also these review threads usually should have a subject like
RFR: <BUG ID>: <Bug Synopsis>

which means you first need a bug id .. the patch can't be pushed without one anyway.

Then the patch should be an in-line diff or a webrev hosted on cr.openjdk.java.net.

I think in-line would be OK for this small change.

Hi All,

Under these circumstances, jchuff.c will not compile:

Platform: zLinux (s390x)
Release: JDK9 (may affect other JDKs).
GCC Version: 4.8.5
Notes: --disable-warnings-as-errors suppresses this error.

The error is:

/home/adamfarl/hotspot/jdk9/jdk/src/java.desktop/share/native/libjavajpeg/jchuff.c:
In function 'jGenOptTbl':
/home/adamfarl/hotspot/jdk9/jdk/src/java.desktop/share/native/libjavajpeg/jchuff.c:808:18:
error: array subscript is below array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
      while (bits[j] == 0)
                 ^

This is a continuation of a conversation in the build-dev mailing list, if anyone wants to
check the history.

The short version is that, while you *can* suppress the problem by adding --disable-warnings-as-errors to your configure step, I posit that a builder shouldn't
have to.

Various solutions were debated. One involves changing Awt2dLibraries.gmk.

Basically you change line 494 to this:

    DISABLED_WARNINGS_gcc := clobbered array-bounds, \

I'm running a build now to check that works, but basically we should end up with a -Wno-array-bounds on the gcc compile command for jchuff.c, thereby ignoring the warning.

A smarter variant involves checking for that specific version of the gcc, but that seems
wordy to me for this problem. Keeping it simple. :)

Thoughts?

Best Regards
