SUN_ARCH_ABI property not set or in release file for aarch64 builds

[Simon Nash]

Hi Bob,
I would find such a property very useful.

My application is mostly written in Java but also uses a native library
that is loaded dynamically by the Java code.  In order to distribute
fewer versions of the application and make things simpler for users,
I have recently started packaging multiple versions of the native library
(for example, Intel x86 and Intel x64) in a single version of the
application and using Java runtime properties to determine which of
these native libraries to load.

I would like to do this for gnueabi and gnueabihf if I could find a
reliable way to determine at runtime which of these native libraries
is needed.  It sounds like this property would be an ideal solution.

Best regards,
Simon
