As far as 8u is concerned, IcedTea has also offered the ability to build
with Shenandoah since July 2016 [0]. If enabled, the HotSpot tree is
switched to the Shenandoah 8u one from the AArch64 project [1]. This
allows it to be offered as a build option in Gentoo, and potentially
other distros that use OpenJDK via IcedTea.

If we ever finally get an 11u version released, that will support it too :)
