I think I ran the github actions, let me know if that didn't work.

Nope, I don't have an account on the JBS, and I don't see an option to create one: so I appreciate your help :)
Here is what you can use for the comment:

Fix Request 11u
 
Backporting this patch enables building to sparc/linux with GCC 9. Patch applies cleanly to 11u. This patch is necessary to support jdk11 on gentoo/sparc, as every user builds from source, and GCC 8 has been unmaintained for a while now. This patch has been tested on my and at least one other sparc/linux system, and works as expected. 

I appreciate your time and patience =^D
