OK. It'd be nice to have that committed.

I'm the project lead of the AArch64 OpenJDK port.

Interesting. So OpenJDK from the upstream source doesn't build on FreeBSD,
you have to patch it?

Ideally:

I'd like all BSD fixes to be in the 11u source tree, so that everything in
there builds on all BSDs. I don't want to approve a patch that breaks BSDs,
or any other system. I think it would be better for OpenJDK committers to be
able to see BSD changes.

And I'd like to say "Hi, thanks!" to BSD maintainers.  :-)
