Thanks, that was my assumption. I did wonder if the lack of SA was AIX rather than AIX+PPC-specific and whether we could just drop the arch test altogether... But if someone does start building ppc64le+AIX, they'd find this issue straight away anyway. Ok if I push the jdk and root parts then? I think someone on the Oracle HS team (David?) needs to push the HotSpot bit. Thanks, -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
