The bitbake application does all the cross-compiling for us. Now that we are expanding our embedded world to include Java, we now need a JVM, but would prefer to use Java 9, again to keep the filesystem footprint of the JVM as small as possible.

You may want to check out the 'meta-java' layer. It includes bitbake recipes for openjdk.
I wrote a patch to update the recipe to jdk8 form aarch32. It is available on https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/146560/.
