The W^X mode is local to a thread, so W^X mode change relates to the java thread state change (for java threads). In most cases, JVM executes in write-only mode, except when calling a generated stub like SafeFetch, which requires a temporary switch to execute-only mode. The same execute-only mode is enabled when a java thread executes in java or native states. This approach of managing W^X mode turned out to be simple and efficient enough.

This test is making my head spin. Can't you just invert it to this structure:

if OS=aix || OS+CPU = mac+aarch64; then
  no
else
 yes
fi

This is solved in the wrong place. This code should just use the result from `config.guess/config.sub`. These files are imported from the autoconf project. Unfortunately, they have changed the license to one incompatible with OpenJDK, so we are stuck with an old version. Instead, we have created a "bugfix wrapper" that calls the original `autoconf-config.guess/sub` and fixes up the result, with stuff like this.

Fixing the comment above means this change, and the one below, can be reverted.

What does -f do, and is it needed for macos-x64 as well?

Is this really proper for macos-x64? I thought we used -Damd64 as a marker for all macos-x64 C/C++ files. (Most files get their flags from the common setup in configure, but SA is a different beast due to historical reasons).
