Hi Elazar,
I see that you never got any replies here. I suggest that you re-ask
your question on the jdk8u mailing list instead (cc'd).

When trying to compile the latest jdk8u on linux I get failures over
warnings with the register keywords.
I'm using https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev.git which seems to be
pretty up to date (I'm using master), and last commit is less than two
days ago.
This is a workaround I had to use:
diff --git a/hotspot/make/linux/makefiles/gcc.make
b/hotspot/make/linux/makefiles/gcc.make

# Compiler warnings are treated as errors
-WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS = -Werror
+WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS = -Werror -Wno-register
But I guess the best solution is to remove the register keywords from
the codebase.
How is adoptium building it? Does it use specific compiler? Is the
supported compiler documented anywhere?
FTR using temurin-build repository and scripts, fails for other
reasons, and fails even with -D/--podman docker containers.
This patch builds it with centos stream 9 on amd64.
Am I doing something wrong? What's the recommended way of building jdk8?
Thanks,
Elazar Leibovich
