[8u] RFR: JDK-8164041: support old pre-c++11 toolchains and ucLibc

[Andrey Petushkov]

Hi Ed,

Thank you for response! It’s though not quite clear to me if it’s possible to use generated code there since these functions are inline, so having them as generated incur indirect call, which likely alleviates any performance gain (so for universal binary it’s easier to just build against the lowest supported CPU anyway)

BTW, one note to my other RFR - the C1 port there is only for ARMv6K and above since ldrexd instructions are used there as well

Regards,
Andrey
