Compile JRE for PPC 32 bit

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hi Radu!

I apologize for the late reply!

Yes, the Zero variant should compile natively and also supports cross-builds. However, you will most likely need some patches to fix minor issues with Zero to get it to build in jdk8u.

The situation is much better with jdk10 though where Zero builds fine on most architectures without needing any additional patches.

Let me know if you run into a specific problem with jdk8u and I will help you.
