Thanks for the response, but I think you missed the point of my email.
As I stated in my email, I've already built a Zero VM, interpreter based JDK.
That's what you get with the instructions you provided.
My goal was building a true native PowerPC (JIT) JDK, which until about 12
hours ago was only available for AIX and Linux.
Using the Zero VM JDK and modifying the Linux PPC code, I've successfully built
a true native PowerPC (JIT) JDK. Which is an order of magnitude faster than
the interpreted JDK.
Nice work!
I'd be interested to see a path to getting that working on the OS
X/PowerPC target. Would you say it's feasible?
There is a working Zero build at least for JDK 7.

BTW, I did the research and communicated with Greg, as well as others across
the OpenJDK community.
Regards!
