Compile JRE for PPC 32 bit

[Radu Andritoiu]

Hello,

This is the output from "./java -version"
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Embedded Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11, headless)
Java HotSpot(TM) Embedded Client VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)

This version of JRE we got directly from Oracle.
I haven't tried to compile any openJDK until now.

So I should get jdk8u151-b12. But this one still compiles only with "zero"
jvm-variant right?
There is no version (even jdk7) that compiles with "client" variant for
PPC32, right?


Thank you,
Radu
