openjdk8u build in Solaris 10: failed with error

Question

When am building latest code from http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u , am getting some errors in solaris 10. Following steps from: https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html

I was successfully able to build jdk8 in the same system. But when building jdk8u, facing some issues: Configure:

 ./configure --with-tools-dir=/opt/solarisstudio12.4/bin/ --enable-jfr=yes --with-target-bits=32

bash-3.2# uname -a SunOS FFPSNetSec 5.10 Generic_148889-05 i86pc i386 i86pc

/etc/release:

I tried the same jdk8u source from openjdk and built --with-target-bits=64, build is completed without any error. But am not sure why it is failing for 32-bit. Can anyone help me address this issue?

Answer 1

32-bit builds of Java 8 on Solaris are not supported.
