JDK9 on solaris-amd64 6 machine fails with error message like
Error: failed /export/home/aurora/RunData/java_build/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so, because ld.so.1: java: fatal: libpicl.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory

I dont' think it should die due to this missing library.

I don't think the PICL libraries are installed on our default solaris11.2 (amd64) images. I'm not sure this might be a difference form 11.1 to 11.2 as we saw similar failures setting up re build machines and we reverted to using 11.1.
