Since JDK-8175307 was fixed we started seeing failures like this on OS X 10.9 systems:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libjvm.dylib Referenced from: /opt/jprt/T/P1/144150.mgerdin/bundles/testBundle/hotspot/gtest/server/gtestLauncher Reason: image not found make[2]: *** [hotspotgtestserver] Trace/BPT trap: 5 (core dumped) The reason was that JDK-8175307 replaced -Wl,-rpath, at loaderpath/. with -Wl,-rpath, at loaderpath in some cases. This works well on modern macOS but fails on OS X 10.9 and earlier. This patch restores the old behavior of adding /. if no other path is given. I have verified that it solves the problem on 10.9, and that is does not break on newer macOS. I have also verified the fix on all platforms on JPRT. I intend to get approval to push this into JDK9. The final form of the patch was contributed by David DeHaven.
