My bad, while I'm aware it is not a configure option I didn't know that
building without precompiled headers was not supported. 

Still, even if unsupported I assumed that such contributions would be welcomed
or - in other words - being unsupported wouldn't necessarily entails that such
contributions couldn't get accepted.

Given that all Linux distros rely on IcedTea for OpenJDK 7 (and 6) I thought
such a fix would be of some help. Debian/Ubuntu disables PCH for aarch64/arm64
builds.

If this is still not enough reason, then I can propose those patches directly
to the OpenJDK project - but then, given how IcedTea fixes go directly to
OpenJDK 6/7 nowadays it seemed hardly necessary.

Thanks!
