Hello,
I've got a patch to build Java8 JDK repository [1] on AIX 64 and Linux
PPC 64, and plan to push it to [1], before that I'd like to get some
comments here :)
The patch includes two parts,
I) Patches ported from PPC Java7u repository [3], which includes various
changes from 'corba' and 'jdk' repositories.
II) Several small new changes to make the compilation pass.

Since the HotSpot patches have not yet been ported to Java8, so I was
using OpenJDK7 builds [2] provided by Volker as bootstrapping JDK and
use JDK7 HotSpot as alternative import. So in part II) patch there's a
workaround for non-existing VM interface.
Many thanks
- Jonathan
