Today I hacked the OpenJDK build system so that it recognises when it’s running on a platform without a JIT and enables the portable interpreter. Now it’s at the point where the build fails because the platform dependent flags files globals_$cpu.hpp and globals_linux_$cpu.hpp don’t exist so I’ve been dredging through the existing ones to see what my new ones need. There’s some stuff in there which I’m tempted to rationalize but I’m going to leave it alone in the interests of keeping my patch simple. I figure keeping tangential stuff out is the path to easy patch acceptance when the time comes.
