Hi, Could I please get reviews for this JDK 8 backport which fixes some tooling issues on Linux ppc64le? Prior this patch, a ppc64le build would report as "ppc64" via os.arch system property which breaks tooling such as maven in as much as if some dependency needs native libraries it would download BE binaries where it actually should download LE binaries. Example for os.arch/java.library.path:
pre: $ ./jdk8-pre-ppc64le/bin/java TestProperty java.library.path = /usr/java/packages/lib/ppc64:/usr/lib64:/lib64:/lib:/usr/lib os.arch = ppc64 post: $ ./jdk8-post-ppc64le/bin/java TestProperty java.library.path = /usr/java/packages/lib/ppc64le:/usr/lib64:/lib64:/lib:/usr/lib os.arch = ppc64le Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8073139 webrevs: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sgehwolf/webrevs/JDK-8073139/jdk8/01/ Including build-dev for build changes. hotspot-dev and ppc-aix-port-dev for JDK/hotspot changes. This backport should only have minor differences to the changes in JDK 11. We have been using similar patches in Fedora for months. Thoughts? Thanks, Severin
