# OpenJDK-patches
These are patches to make OpenJDK run on musl-based systems, and generally just "not glibc amd64".
Some of these patches will break conformance with glibc on specific architectures, due to the stripping of LFS64 macros.
These are patches to make OpenJDK run on musl-based systems, removing the assumption that OpenJDK will
be being compiled against amd64 and glibc.
These patches are aimed at making OpenJDK packages for [Adélie Linux](https://www.adelielinux.org/) so that
we can partake in the traditional Linux "killer app" - Minecraft. Also, to support scientific computing
using Java for performance and portability reasons.
As such, these patches may break compilation against glibc - particularly glibc on powerpc and x86 architectures
(the non-64-bit variants); this is why they're patches and not pull-requests.
