Comment (by landonf@…):

 > So you don't want to work on it and marked this issue as "won't fix" :(
 > UPD: Can you please re-open it?

 If there's someone else willing to do the genuinely time consuming and
 often difficult work, then I'll be happy to reopen the bug. However, I've
 already invested an enormous amount of my personal time in bringing
 OpenJDK to Mac OS X to begin with, and am not particularly interested in
 spending even more of my time on supporting a platform that I don't need,
 and has been off the market for 7 years now, and nobody else is
 volunteering.

 > As I understand, making something more portable does mean making it more
 portable. Regardless any marketing, Apple CPU changing etc. I contacted
 OpenJDK team.

 "Portable" doesn't really mean much when you're talking about hand-coded
 assembly templates, architecture-specific JIT, non-portable OS-specific
 signal handling code that introspects the faulting code to determine
 whether divide-by-zero occurred, and a slew of other things that are
 necessarily and inescapably OS-specific.

 OpenJDK is a big, exceedingly complex piece of software, and porting it is
 not as simple as recompiling it.
