I am working on porting OpenJDK7 to the little endian PowerPC64
running Linux (little endian support is part of the OpenPower
initiative).
The port is based on OpenJDK7 for PowerPC in the
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/ppc-aix-port/jdk7u. It is functioning: it
can build itself, and all but a few Jtreg tests in jdk/test succeed.
The port was initially targeting the "old" ABI (that is, the same ABI
that big endian PowerPC64 is using), and is now targeting v2 ABI (the
function descriptors are dropped and two words are dropped from the
base frame).
Would it be possible to add this port to the ppc-aix-port/jdk7u
repository? The changes are moderate, 'hg diff' for the hotspot ~2300
lines, plus ~400 lines for jdk et al.
