From: "Peter B. Kessler" <###@###.###>
Subject: "JvmOffsets.cpp", line 10: Error?

I'm trying to build on solaris-sparc. I think I'm doing a clean
build from scratch in a child of gc_baseline. I'm consistently
dying on all builds (c1, c2, product, fastdebug), with (sorry for
the long lines):

     sum: Can't open -r
     "JvmOffsets.cpp", line 10: Error: "}" expected instead of "1".
     1 Error(s) detected.
     gnumake[2]: *** [JvmOffsets.o] Error 1
     gnumake[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
     gnumake[2]: Leaving directory `/disk1/export/pbk/Workspaces/build/4962463/build/solaris/solaris_sparc_compiler1/jvmg'
     gnumake[1]: *** [the_vm] Error 2
     gnumake[1]: Leaving directory `/disk1/export/pbk/Workspaces/build/4962463/build/solaris/solaris_sparc_compiler1/jvmg'
     gnumake: *** [jvmg1] Error 2

That looks like a path problem. I have /usr/ucb before /bin in
my path, so I get /usr/ucb/sum instead of /bin/sum. /usr/ucb/sum
doesn't have a -r option.

I think the makefiles should be changed to refer to /bin/sum
explicitly. The problem seems to be in build/solaris/makefiles/vm.make:

     $(JVMOFFS).c.csum: $(GENOFFS) $(JVMOFFS)Index.h $(JVMOFFS).cpp
      $(QUIETLY) cat $(JVMOFFS)Index.h $(JVMOFFS).cpp | sum -r | tr -d ' ' > $@

I guess I'll go change my path temporarily.

Peter is right, the following line is a cause of the problem:
      $(QUIETLY) cat $(JVMOFFS)Index.h $(JVMOFFS).cpp | sum -r | tr -d ' ' > $@

Above, the 'sum' has to be replaced with '/bin/sum' or '/usr/bin/sum'.
The bug has been introduced in HS build b39 with fix of 4974749:
  Synopsis: dtrace java support for ustack is broken from b31

The problem exists on Solaris only.
