jtreg cannot directly compile native code. In theory, you could do it
in a shell script, but that immediately becomes a rats nest of "which
platform, and where do I find the compilers?"
If you are talking about native code and tests in OpenJDK
repositories, then it is not acceptable to stash binaries in OpenJDK
repositories. But, there is an infrastructure in place for an OpenJDK
build to build native libraries to be made available to test code.
Perhaps someone else on this list can explain how that works.
