This patch adds libffi to the linux devkit to enable building of zero.
It also adds optional bundling of the libffi library with the JDK. The
reason for this is that the devkit sysroot is based on a distro that
uses libffi.so.5 while most distros we build or run tests on comes with
libffi.so.6, and those are not compatible. Static linking was
considered, but libffi.a doesn't seem commonly available where we would
need it.
I'm also adding Jib profiles and a JPRT configuration which enables
building of zero on Linux x86 and x64 for the "buildinfra" testset in
JPRT. Note that these builds are currently not clean (for OracleJDK
builds at least).
Does this mean you are going to add Zero to your tested build configs
(via JPRT)? So far my knowledge was Oracle didn't build the Zero port
at all. From looking at the bug, it seems this is about to change.
This change alone will not add Zero to the standard set of tested
configs. It will only make it easier for Oracle engineers to verify zero
builds on demand. There is a related bug filed for adding zero builds to
the standard hotspot pre checkin jobs, but I can't say if that change is
going to be made at this point.
