It might not be horribly difficult to fix. The crash comes when the VM calls mprotect() on the second page of the stack as a guard against stack overflow: obviously that isn't going to work if your stack grows upwards. I don't know if that is the only place in which the VM assumes the stack grows downwards. It's a matter of debugging, if anyone on hppa cares enough to get OpenJDK working.
