        From http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2014-May/014020.html

        I've created a patch [1] to fix usage of uintx where size_t type is
        expected in hotspot/src/share/vm/runtime/arguments.cpp

        The Arguments::max_heap_for_compressed_oops() method is declared in
        arguments.hpp as
        size_t max_heap_for_compressed_oops()
        but later defined in arguments.cpp as
        uintx max_heap_for_compressed_oops()

        For most platforms the uintx and size_t types are effectively the
        same, so the interchange is uncaught, but on s390 (32-bit) the size_t is
        "unsigned long" which makes it incompatible with "unsigned int".
