Copy-pasting the comment I made earlier (internally):

make/bsd/makefiles/gcc.make:

+ ifeq ($(BUILDSTATIC),true) + CXXFLAGS += -DSTATICBUILD + CFLAGS += -DSTATICBUILD Can we use the same name everywhere? We were trying to differentiate Makefile options from compile time conditionals. In one case it’s set to true and the other it’s defined. Are there no other cases where this is done?

I’m not sure but looking at make/excludeSrc.make all of them use the same name.

Please review this JDK 9 enhancement which allows a completely static build of the JDK for MacOSX x64 platforms. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8136556 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8136556> The change involves: 1. Producing “.a” archives for each native libraries. 2. Ensuring that all symbols across the JDK native libraries are unique. 3. Changing the JNIOnLoad and JNIOnUnload (and the Agent equivalents) to have the each library name appended per the JNI specification. 4. Modifications to the launcher and launcher Makefiles to allow them to be linked with the java.base and jdk.jdwp.agent libraries and function. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bobv/8136556/webrev.00/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bobv/8136556/webrev.00/> http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bobv/8136556/hotspot/webrev.00/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bobv/8136556/hotspot/webrev.00/> http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bobv/8136556/jdk/webrev.00/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bobv/8136556/jdk/webrev.00/> Note: This change does not link every possible static library with the launchers. It is currently limited to the java.base and jdk.jdwp.agent libraries in order to allow for the TCK validation of the base module only.
