Steve, I'll work on the patch. In the meantime, if you'd like to give them a try, I've built OpenJDK7/8 Zero VM for powerpc64. It's available at the below URL: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bz7VO-WP3rlpM3BabUd6ejlya3c&usp=shar ing -Curtis -----Original Message----- From: Steve Wills [mailto:swills@FreeBSD.org] Sent: Friday, October 30, 2015 9:30 AM To: Curtis Hamilton <hamiltcl@verizon.net>; 'Justin Hibbits' <jrh29@alumni.cwru.edu> Cc: 'FreeBSD PowerPC ML' <freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org> Subject: Re: OpenJDK for PowerPC64 I recently tried to build lang/gcc on powerpc with the JAVA option on and got what I think are similar errors with libtool. If you could provide a patch for what you had to change to get it to work, that'd be most appreciated. It built fine without the JAVA option, but I did have to turn on the BOOTSTRAP option in both cases to get it to build on powerpc. Though it does add a considerable amount of build time, I think something like this in lang/gcc: OPTIONS_DEFAULT_powerpc64= BOOTSTRAP might be called for. If we can get the JAVA stuff working, I might even consider making that default if that would mean it would be usable as a bootstrap for lang/openjdk[78]. Or maybe we leave it off by default, but use it to build a powerpc version of java/bootstrap-openjdk.
