After many failed tries, I finally succeeded in building Openjdk 7 on
PowerPC64.  Anyone interested in how it was done or wants the binaries?

My next challenge is to build OpenJDK 8 on PowerPC64 .

Regards,

Curtis

Thanks for the insight, but l don't have a sufficient bootstrap to for
openjdk8.  Like I said, I've had some success building openjdk6, but I get a
seg fault and core dump when the newly created 'java' executable is run.

It would be helpful if you could view the attached log file that is created
and point me to what I'm doing wrong. 

Thanks in advance.

Curtis

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.
