> 
> The `jlink` command allows a `--endian` option to specify the byte order in 
> the generated image. Before this change, when such a image was being 
> launched, the code would assume the byte order in the image to be the native 
> order of the host where the image is being launched. That would result in 
> failure to launch java, as noted in the linked issue.
> 
> The commit in this PR, changes relevant places to not assume native order and 
> instead determine the byte order by reading the magic bytes in the image 
> file's header content.
> 
> A new jtreg test has been added which reproduces the issue and verifies the 
> fix.

Jaikiran Pai has updated the pull request incrementally with four additional 
commits since the last revision:

 - when --endian is specified, verify it matches the implicitly determined 
target platform's endianness
 - trim down the architecture support to the previous values plus a few new 
that match target.properties
 - improve error messages as suggested by Mandy
 - formatting fix
