# OpenJDK-patches
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.
