Sorry, I am confused, what is "hotspot platforms"? You mean jvm-variant=server? My point is, I
don't think there are lots of people who care (read: maintain) about Zero variant for platforms that
are supported by their corresponding ports.
Anyhow, aarch64-zero and ppc64le-zero seem to build with this fix:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8214787

P.S. I think it also falls victim to resurfaced cross-compilation issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8203828
...but that is workaroundable with specifying the --with-build-jdk.
