Re: RFR: JDK-8150257 Remove softfloat lib support

[Gary Adams]

As far as I know the only build that uses the sflt libs is the legacy armv5 
linux systems.

http://closedjdk.us.oracle.com/ejdk9/dev/closed/file/a2055fab159f/bin/build-embedded.csh#l331
...
  # ARMv5t, non-thumb, soft-float emulation, soft-float ABI
  case linux-arm-sflt:
set JVM_VARIANT = "--with-jvm-variants=client,minimal1"
set DEVKIT = --with-devkit=$TOOLKIT_ROOT/gcc/linux/arm/arm-linaro-4.7
set X11KIT = 
--with-x=$TOOLKIT_ROOT/gcc/linux/arm/arm-linaro-4.7/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/X11R6
set SFLT_LIB_PATH = --with-sflt-lib-path=$TOOLKIT_ROOT/gcc/linux/arm/ext
set CROSS_COMPILE_ARCH = --openjdk-target=arm-linux-gnueabi
set ABI_PROFILE = --with-abi-profile=arm-sflt

We have some quite ugly hacks in place to support injecting the
softfloat lib on certain platforms. This is not needed anymore and
should be removed.


Is this no longer relevant to the iOS-arm build in mobile-dev? They 
will need to add this back if they still need it, but perhaps in a 
cleaner way.


Otherwise removal looks good.

Thanks,
David

Hi,

can I please have a reviewer and sponsor for this AIX build change:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/2016/8150197/
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8150197

The change is actually a downport from build-infra and it has already
been informally reviewed by Magnus in that repository.
The change itself updates the AIX link flags and uses a new option
during linking which produces a so called "loadmap". That's a file
which summarizes the link step and can be used to quickly detect
linking problems. The option has been already used for the HotSpot
build and will now be used for every shared library.

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
