Hi Adrian, The URL supplied by David (Holmes) lists 4.8.5 as the gcc version for building JDK9 on SLES 11.3/12.1. Whether it's in a repository or not, I read that as "this is the gcc version you should be building JDK9 on". https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms I asked for this change to be put in 10 and 11 because I don't know the minimum/recommended gcc version for jdk10 and 11. I'm assuming it's the same as 9 until told otherwise. Best Regards Adam Farley Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
