Is that really the case though? If someone is reading the platform.m4 file, they might think that but simply trying to build the server variant for ia64 would fail very quickly anyway and people would realize it's not supported. In the end, I think the extended portability OpenJDK highly outweighs your reservations above. Someone who doesn't understand the difference between Zero and the official ports, is also unlikely to try building OpenJDK from source themselves. > I also wonder if the values here can be reliably obtained via uname/sysconf > or some such utility so that we don't have to list every single platform > individually? I think autoconf normally has support for this, yes. It's rather unusual having to add targets manually. But you will need the mapping to VAR_CPU, for example. I will have a look at it anyway. For the time being, it would be nice if I can get this and a second follow-up change for ia64 merged so downstream (currently Debian and Gentoo for ia64) doesn't have to carry any additional patches anymore.
