Is there any hope of compiling a 64-bit Windows JVM on a 32-bit O/S?
We are headed in the other direction with OpenJDK 8 on Windows -
compiling both 32 and 64-bit using Windows 2008R2 64-bit as the O/S and
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 as the compiler. We have very few 32-bit Windows
systems left, and those we have are dedicated to building earlier JDK
releases.
That aside though, if the windows 32-bit dev tools support building
64-bit binaries (I have no idea if they do) then it should be as simple
as configuring with --with-target-bits=64. But so far all our
cross-compiling of this form has been on linux and only tested for
building 32-bit on a 64-bit host.

I tried a few options and other tweaks and got as far as configure
compiling a 64-bit fixpath.exe and then discovering that it won't run
on a 32-bit system.
I don't mind changing the make files but I'm not up for learning how
to generate the configure script.
