[aarch64-port-dev ] SUN_ARCH_ABI property not set or in release file for aarch64 builds

[Andrey Petushkov]

Hi Simon,

from the first glance it's set with the command line when the binary is
built.  so there is no code change is required but rather build system
setup.  we can ensure Azul is building with it so it will propagate into
any downstream distribution taking our binaries. yet it might help you or
might not depending on what you call the "openjdk build"

Regards,
Andrey
