OpenJDK8 Native PPC64 Build

[Curtis Hamilton]

As a follow-up to my earlier post last fall, I've been able to create a true native ppc64 build of OpenJDK8. This is not a Zero VM based (interpreted) JDK, but a true native ppc64 JIT build using the Linux PPC code set.

Should anyone be interested, I can make the software available.

Do you have a patch available somewhere?

The patches have been submitted for formal review and posting to the BSD-Port repository. However, you can get them from:

Can you re-upload them please?

Try: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bz7VO-WP3rlpM3BabUd6ejlya3c

I placed a new archive in this folder. You will also find several installable JDK builds, including a native JDK8 build.

Just wanted to check to see how this worked for you! Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
