As others have said there's no PPC support in OpenJDK. If you are
building zero then I believe you need to be looking at using icedtea:

Hello Max,
I have not been able to get it to compile either and at this point no
one has responded to my post about PPC. I am not sure if it will compile
for our platform any more.
Does anyone have a successful recent build?

Hi,
I hope it's the right mailing list for my question...
I'm trying to build opendjdk7 (bsd-port) in my PowerPC Mac. I
downloaded a right bootstrap VM and got platform-independent code
(corba, jaxp, jaxws etc) successfully compiled.
Unfortunately I cannot compile hotspot VM because of the following

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The missing source is there but the complation script seems to be
unable to locate it.
Moreover, I found out that the platform-specific code (PPC in my
case) is NOT there! The directory
/Users/maxim/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu
doesn't contain any PPC-related code but only those for sparc, x86
and zero. I have no idea what the latter means though...
My Question: Is PPC arch deprecated meanwhile? If not, what's the
reason to strip it out from the distribution?
Is there any possibility to obtain the PPC code for that VM?
Any help would be highly appreciated. I'm about to contribute to a
open-source project related on Java 1.6 but I cannot run that
software because Apple discontinued PPC macs, their support and Java
development for PPC. So openjdk is my only way to proceed...
Info on system I use:
Processor: PowerPC G5 2.1 GHz
System: Mac OS X 10.5.8
