but >>only<< if StringValueExp.java is put on the same command line.
If StringValueExp.java is left out from the comman dline, the generated class file for BinaryOpValueExp.java is fine.

I found this bug while comparing the build results between the old build and the new build in the build-infra project.

How to reproduce, first build a full jdk using the old buildsystem, then:
cd jdk/make/javax/management
<boot-jdk>/bin/java -Xbootclasspath/p:../../../../build/linux-amd64/langtools/dist/bootstrap/lib/javac.jar -jar ../../../../build/linux-amd64/langtools/dist/bootstrap/lib/javac.jar -Xlint:-path -source 7 -target 7 -encoding ascii -Xbootclasspath:../../../../build/linux-amd64/classes -sourcepath ../../../src/closed/solaris/classes:../../../src/closed/share/classes:../../../../build/linux-amd64/gensrc:../../../src/solaris/classes:../../../src/share/classes -d /tmp/classes ../../../src/share/classes/javax/management/BinaryOpValueExp.java

A correct BinaryOpValueExp.class can be found below /tmp/classes

<boot-jdk>/bin/java -Xbootclasspath/p:../../../../build/linux-amd64/langtools/dist/bootstrap/lib/javac.jar -jar ../../../../build/linux-amd64/langtools/dist/bootstrap/lib/javac.jar -Xlint:-path -source 7 -target 7 -encoding ascii -Xbootclasspath:../../../../build/linux-amd64/classes -sourcepath ../../../src/closed/solaris/classes:../../../src/closed/share/classes:../../../../build/linux-amd64/gensrc:../../../src/solaris/classes:../../../src/share/classes -d /tmp/classes2 ../../../src/share/classes/javax/management/BinaryOpValueExp.java ../../../src/share/classes/javax/management/StringValueExp.java

A BinaryOpValueExp.class with duplicate "<init>":(Ljava/lang/String;)V is created below /tmp/classes2

Javaps of the good and bad BinaryOpValueExp.class are attached.

The commit in langtools that causes this behaviour is (commenting it out fixes the problem):
