It will.  Soylatte is not just the straight JRL JDK, as I understand
it, but with a number of BSD patches that have been developed over
time (the BSD port on which it's based goes back years).  The work
required is basically to relicense these patches and apply them to the
OpenJDK.

because it would avoid having to build HotSpot, which was the source
of your problems.
