Hello!

openjdk-9 currently fails to build from source on armel because
the ARM-specific code in the native Hotspot JVM uses instructions
like "bkpt" [1] and "pld" [2] which are only available on ARMv5
and newer while armel is equivalent to ARMv4T.

I have already looked into patching out some of the ARMv5 assembly
for armel and while getting rid of "bkpt" is a matter of not defining
BREAKPOINT as __asm__ volatile ("bkpt"),

 #undef BREAKPOINT
 #define BREAKPOINT __asm__ volatile ("bkpt")
 #endif

getting rid of "pld" wasn't that easy because it's part of a larger
assembly source. Thus, the only viable option is to drop armel
from the list hotspot_archs in debian/rules.

Thanks for consideration!
