Hi,
it could be done with PPC64_ENDIANNESS check
Yes, that's fine. I would further propose to choose a neutral name ENDIANESS
and set it for all architectures. Platform specific variables should be
avoided in
shared files. And it's used in ppc64.make, so that should be fine.
Also -DLITTLE_ENDIAN could be set in a shared makefile once for all if there is
a
variable ENDIANESS.
When using the top-level build from configure, there is a
OPENJDK_TARGET_CPU_ENDIAN variable defined already, set to "big" or
"little".
I assume that you will need to add support to ppc64le into the top-level
and jdk make files as well. Building just hotspot for ppc64le, but not
any of the jdk native libraries, does not really make sense.
