rev 2693 : 8184338: switch minimum supported gcc version to 4.8

*** 390,404 **** Solaris Oracle Solaris Studio 12.4 (with compiler version 5.13) Windows Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 update 4 ### gcc ! The minimum accepted version of gcc is 4.3. Older versions will not be accepted ! by `configure`. ! ! However, gcc 4.3 is quite old and OpenJDK is not regularly tested on this ! version, so it is recommended to use a more modern gcc. OpenJDK 9 includes patches that should allow gcc 6 to compile, but this should be considered experimental. In general, any version between these two should be usable. --- 390,401 ---- Solaris Oracle Solaris Studio 12.4 (with compiler version 5.13) Windows Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 update 4 ### gcc ! The minimum accepted version of gcc is 4.7. Older versions will generate a warning ! by `configure` and are unlikely to work. OpenJDK 9 includes patches that should allow gcc 6 to compile, but this should be considered experimental. In general, any version between these two should be usable.
