Doh, beat me to it by a minute. Yeah, you see what I mean. :)
It would be platform suicide to drop 32-bit code generation. Like many
RISC architectures, switching to 64-bit is only done for apps that
need it, because it is not free and will not, in general, make apps
faster. Anyone who has w

Yeah, I understand why you would believe that. I'm not blaming you, I just
want to let everyone know the sentence "32-bit code generation as we use it
is no longer supported upstream" is incorrect. You can see on the GCC 4.7
[1] and 4.8 [2] changes list that removing any SPARC code generation

Hi,
OpenJDK 8 is being packaged [1] and I'm looking for porters willing to
try and compile it on other architectures. So far it builds fine on
