It would be nice to have this done, as macos-11 seems to have [been dropped in GHA](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8318039?focusedId=14686025&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels%3Acomment-tabpanel#comment-14686025)

But it seems, quite a few sprintf related backports needs to be done first (not just 2 mentioned higher), see [JDK-8296812](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8296812) and linked issues.. :(
