We won't need to do that for 11u as https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8222414 is 13+. It should just be a case of backporting the appropriate `sprint` removals.

> Yes, that sounds about right. That's enough change as it is. We need the lowest risk solution for that one, which means the fewest amount of changes/backports. On the plus side, gtest isn't needed for JDK 8 since it only got introduced in JDK 9 with: https://openjdk.org/jeps/281

I did have a go at building 8u with Xcode 13 on macos-12 but wasn't successful, I'll do some digging and see what needs to be backported
