The desired defaults for Full Debug Symbols for HotSpot are:

    FULL_DEBUG_SYMBOLS=1
    ZIP_DEBUGINFO_FILES=1

when configured this way on Solaris SPARC, Solaris SPARC-v9 and
Solaris X64, the VM/NSK dtrace subsuite has hundreds of failures.

The following bug was used to temporarily disable FDS on Solaris:

    7164344 2/3 enabling ZIP_DEBUGINFO_FILES causes unexpected test
                failures on Solaris and Windows
I did a few experiments to characterize the failure mode:

no_strip
--------

- disable the code that calls gobjcopy so creation of
  the libjvm.debuginfo is skipped
- disable the code that links from libjvm.so
  to libjvm.debuginfo
- disable the 'strip -x' of libjvm.so
- test results were 316 pass and 13 fail (all known)

strip-x
-------

- disable the code that calls gobjcopy so creation of
  the libjvm.debuginfo is skipped
- disable the code that links from libjvm.so
  to libjvm.debuginfo
- keep the 'strip -x' of libjvm.so
- test results were 316 pass and 13 fail (all known)

debuglink
---------

- keep the code that calls gobjcopy so creation of
  the libjvm.debuginfo is done
- keep the code that links from libjvm.so
  to libjvm.debuginfo
- disable the 'strip -x' of libjvm.so
- stopped the test run after 8/10 failures

strip-debuglink
---------------

- keep the code that calls gobjcopy so creation of
  the libjvm.debuginfo is done
- move the 'strip -x' of libjvm.so before the debuglink
- keep the code that links from libjvm.so
  to libjvm.debuginfo
- stopped the test run after 8/10 failures

objcopy-strip-debug
-------------------

- keep the code that calls gobjcopy so creation of
  the libjvm.debuginfo is done
- use 'objcopy --strip-debug' instead of 'strip -x'
- keep the code that links from libjvm.so
  to libjvm.debuginfo
- stopped the test run after 8/10 failures
