        On compiling the JDK code with the new gcc compiler option "-fvisibility=hidden"quite some speed improvements on all platforms are observed, but for it to work, SAP code which is marked with "JNI_EXPORT" needs to be exported correctly by the compiler. The attached patch fixes this.

        The attached "jni_md.h.new" file is a version of the file, how it could look like.
