Improving OpenJDK for FreeBSD

[Harald Eilertsen]

Hi,

I've been contracted by The FreeBSD Foundation to try to improve OpenJDK
support for the FreeBSD operating system. Currently the BSD port lives
in a separate github org over at https://github.com/battleblow, but we'd
like to make porting easier and more streamlined in the future by
submitting our changes to the mainline OpenJDK repo.

Currently I'm thinking the best approach is to submit small, self
contained patches adressing specific issues when trying to build on
FreeBSD. Both to make reviewing more manageable, but also to get
feedback so that we ensure the changes integrate as smoothly with the
OpenJDK project as possible.

Will it be best to create a JBS issue for each change, or one issue for
the entire effort?

Thanks in advance!
