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.

> @Richard-Rogalski Before integrating a PR via `/integrate`, you need to request maintainer approval by flagging the JBS issue with jdk11u-fix-request and adding a fix request comment, stating why you want to bring in this backport, some risk assessment and state what testing you did. Only when it is approved via the jdk11u-fix-yes label, you are allowed to merge. For some more detailed instruction about the backport process, please consult our [Wiki page](https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/JDKUpdates/How+to+contribute+a+fix).

It is also customary to get a PR *reviewed* before pushing :-), especially in a maintenance release.
