Hi, Could I please get a review of this 8u build change backport which adds --with-extra-asflags to OpenJDK 8u. At Red Hat, we need to pass certain assembler only flags for some builds. For example "-Wa,--generate- missing-build-notes=yes", to assembly files only. As the build system is different in 8u over 11u I've re-done the patch.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8227397 webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8227397/jdk8/01/ Testing: Built with --with-extra-asflags=-Wa,--generate-missing-build- notes=yes on Linux x86_64, confirmed linux_x86_64.s gets assembled with the flag and only that file. I've omitted the windows portion of passing as flags to the hotspot build as I've no idea how. Contributions welcome if that should get included. Thoughts? Thanks, Severin
