Ideally these are like USE flags, some are already for icedtea. |

|
| 16 |
cacao, jamvm, and zero, in addition to default HotSpot. |

No clue if icedtea/gnuandrew is looking to add support for OpenJ9. That |
| 20 |
would likely be a big one since its from IBM, and the core to their JDK |
| 21 |
for Power. |

IBM also has a JDK, not packaged on Gentoo. Everyone already hates |
| 24 |
Oracle so little interest in IBM. Ideally Gentoo should have it, though |
| 25 |
not sure if it will continue on beyond 8. Maybe why they released J9. |
| 26 |
It does support different archs. |
