Description Mike Reid CLA 2010-07-15 10:43:21 EDT 
This is a build change for the Solaris port required to support the work in bug 319616. The solution there is to take advantage of Solaris' support for an "rpath origin" linker option, which directs the runtime linker to use the location of the library being loaded as a path for loading dependent libraries. On Solaris however, the behaviour of this flag is not transitive, i.e.:

 - libA.so depends on libB.so
 - libB.so depends on libC.so
 - libA is built with "rpath origin" and so when loaded is able to find libB which is stored in the same directory
 - However, since libB was not built with "rpath origin", it is unable to resolve libC without help from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var

Since the JVMTI profiler depends on some AC libraries in order to facilitate the communication with the AC, some libraries in the Agent Controller need to be built with this option to complete the work in bug 319616.
