Yeah, the same will need to be done with CACAO too. I haven't had time
to test those with this fix during the CPU. Your patch looks good to me.

Just as a heads up, I spent a lot of time getting both CACAO and JamVM
to at least build with 8 before the release of 3.0.0 (they still can't
build themselves), and haven't had much response from upstream on
either.

Bug description:
  [Issue]
  The fix of OpenJDK's bug 8158260 (http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea7-forest-2.6/hotspot/rev/4f8cbd54a9c6) introduced 2 new native methods to the sun.misc.Unsafe class: isBigEndian0 and unalignedAccess0.

  This completely broke JamVM and as of now it is impossible to start a
  jamvm session.

  jtreg summary results for OpenJDK 7:
  hotspot   - Test results: passed: 5; failed: 309; error: 7
  langtools - Test results: passed: 374; failed: 1,593; error: 1

  An error output from a testcase:
  ----------System.err:(6/344)----------
  Error initialising VM (initialiseMainThread)
  Check the README for compatible class-libraries/versions
  Exception occurred while printing exception (java/lang/NullPointerException)...
  Original exception was java/lang/UnsatisfiedLinkError
  Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
  Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
  result: Failed. Unexpected exit from test [exit code: 1]

  Running java -jamvm -version fails the same way.

  [Fix]
  The simple fix is to add both methods to the natives.c file in the classlib/openjdk directory.

  I have tested this with IcedTea 2.6.7 and now jtreg passes:
  hotspot   - Test results: passed: 220; failed: 90; error: 11
  langtools - Test results: passed: 1,901; failed: 65; error: 2

  I have reported this upstream at https://sourceforge.net/p/jamvm/code
  /merge-requests/1/ and it is now waiting review.
