The difficult part would be verifying it.
C macros are a very powerful tool, but some of the global names we

src/solaris/hpi/native_threads is one place that seems to depend on
$(ARCH) being defined. That code is part of the HPI "Thread" interface.
As I recall, HotSpot doesn't use the HPI's "Thread" or "Memory"
interfaces and so this code probably hasn't been used since the
transition to HotSpot back in 1.3.
