I agreed with Volker, to the best of my knowledge AIX is Big Endian only
and I know of no plan to change that.

I think the jdk changes with ppc64le as CPU make sense.
Jumping in a bit late in the discussion...
I agree with Erik, having ppc64le as CPU seems the right way to go. I'm
just wondering if you have checked the makefiles if there are tests for
ppc64 elsewhere that will now fail for ppc64le. I noticed that there was
one such change in the configure script, but there might be more in the
makefiles themselves.

These are the revised versions of the webrevs:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/rh1191652/webrev.02/root/
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/rh1191652/webrev.02/jdk/
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~andrew/rh1191652/webrev.02/hotspot/
(HotSpot is unchanged, dropped the sound changes from JDK)
The only other ppc64 block I found is specifically AIX/ppc64 to exclude
the serviceability agent:
make/gensrc/Gensrc-jdk.jdi.gmk:ifeq (, $(filter
$(OPENJDK_TARGET_OS)-$(OPENJDK_TARGET_CPU), aix-ppc64))
make/Import.gmk:ifeq (, $(filter
$(OPENJDK_TARGET_OS)-$(OPENJDK_TARGET_CPU), aix-ppc64))
Does AIX support ppc64le?
To my best knowledge AIX neither supports ppc64le at the moment nor
are there any plans to support it in the future.

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.
Best to push it all together I think, which I can do through the hs-rt
forest. But first I need to see where things settled with all this :) I
was quite confused by some of the initial suggestions. Will try to get
to this today.
