ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [version 5.1.2600]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :

CYGWIN_NT-5.1 Falbala 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-03-05 19:27 i686 Cygwin

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
 In jdk//make/common/shared/Compiler-msvc.gmk
the computation of the CC variables as
    CC_VER := $(shell $(CC) 2>&1 | $(HEAD) -n 1 | $(NAWK) '{print $$8}')
    LINK_VER := $(shell $(LINK) | $(HEAD) -n 1 | $(NAWK) '{print $$6}')
    CC_TYPE := $(shell $(CC) 2>&1 | $(HEAD) -n 1 | $(NAWK) '{print $$5}')

is wrong because the French message is:
CYGWIN:FALBALA:FrancisANDRE[242] cl
Microsoft (R) 32 bits C/C++ Version standard du compilateur 13.10.3077 pour 80x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-2002. Tous droits réservés.

so CC_VER got 'compilateur' and CC_TYPE got 'Version'.

which leads to an abort of the make processing.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Use a French VisualStudio 2003 VC++ compiler release 7.1 and build OpenJDK as explained in the README file.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
CC_VER =13.10.3077
LINK_VER=7.10.3077
CC_TYPE=standard

ACTUAL -
CC_VER =compiler
LINK_VER=7.10.3077
CC_TYPE=Version


REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
For a French VisualStudio C++ compiler, one should use

    CC_VER := $(shell $(CC) 2>&1 | $(HEAD) -n 1 | $(NAWK) '{print $$9}')
    LINK_VER := $(shell $(LINK) | $(HEAD) -n 1 | $(NAWK) '{print $$6}')
    CC_TYPE := $(shell $(CC) 2>&1 | $(HEAD) -n 1 | $(NAWK) '{print $$6}')
