AArch64 support

I've been trying to install Jython and not having much luck.

The symptom is that I get a fail when installing:

  File "/home/aph/jython2.7.0/Lib/pwd.py", line 60, in getpwuid
    return struct_passwd(entry)
  File "/home/aph/jython2.7.0/Lib/pwd.py", line 36, in __new__
    pwd = (newStringOrUnicode(pwd.loginName), newStringOrUnicode(pwd.password), int(pwd.UID),
NotImplementedError: passwd.pw_passwd unimplemented

I think I've tracked my problem down to an obsolete jffi which doesn't
support AArch64.  Do I need to do anything more than simply copy
jffi-i386-Linux.jar into extlibs?  is that a reasonable guess at the
failure?

BTW, I am the lead of the AArch64 OpenJDK port.  If you want me
to test on AArch64, I can do that.

Andrew.
