I have noticed that GHA jobs started to fail when creating ppc64el sysroot. We
are using Debian bullseye as the base for sysroots. Debian bullseye is LTS
release. Perhaps counter-intuitively, LTS platform support shrinks over the LTS
lifetime. Debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Using -- says:
"Important: The current LTS version is Debian 11 ("bullseye") and will be
supported until August 31st, 2026. Supported architectures in Debian 11 LTS are
limited to amd64, i386, arm64 and armhf. Users of other architectures are
especially encouraged to upgrade to Debian 12 (''bookworm''). "
We should consider switching to Debian bookworm for GHA cross-compiling
sysroots. Again, Debian wiki:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBookworm#Architectures -- says all architectures
we need are supported. But actually, RISC-V is still only supported with sid.
So, we need to be switching only current bullseye to bookworm, leaving sid as
sid. This should change as Debian trixie releases in a few weeks, but we cannot
wait for this long. Debian trixie update would be handled in
[JDK-8363966](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8363966).
Additional testing:
