Hello,
When building JDK 15 with the current devkit on a Catalina host, the
build fails. This is because the SetFile command is picked up from the
devkit and in the Xcode version the devkit is based on, that executable
is 32bit. I had expected to update the compiler version used at Oracle
in JDK 15, but as we are running out of time, that won't happen until
JDK 16. So to make JDK 15 more easily buildable on Catalina for Oracle
engineers, I'm applying a simple workaround in the jib profile for
macosx-x64. The workaround is to force the use of /usr/bin/SetFile.
