You may be able to build openjdk8 using the Zero VM if you apply the patches
from

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201308

and additionally modify the Makefile to also allow the correct ARCH
settings for powerpc.

However, that would still require some sort of bootstrapping, so maybe
you'd hit the same error still, depending on what is causing that.
