Hi Tim,

This is a small set of changes to switch from gcc to clang when building So we already added support for clang as the compiler for hotspot - is this just extending things to allow configure to select clang?

The earlier clang/hotspot activity was centered around Linux x86/x86_64.

on MacOS, and also enable building on MacOS 8.x Have we already updated all the JPRT queues to have 10.8 macs versus 10.7 ones?

Yes, all the queues have 10.8 Macs, which have been test-only up until now.

Here is the bug report:

http://bugs.sun.com/viewbug.do?bugid=8019470 Here are the webrevs: Hotspot only: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~tbell/8019470/hotspot/webrev.00/ src/os/bsd/vm/osbsd.cpp Again I'm confused. We already allowed building via clang so why wasn't this change needed before?

This file is not used when building on Linux.

Thanks, David
