GLIBC_2.22 not found on RHEL7/ppc64le
If you try to run the openjdk builds (default or OpenJ9) on RHEL7/ppc64le the builds fail due to a missing symbol GLIBC_2.22 in the lib/server/libjvm.so or lib/compressedrefs/libj9jit29.so shared libraries. We need to consider whether this is a concern (I suspect so, since it fails on the latest RHEL7.4 which I expect some people will be using) and whether we really need this dependency. As per the extract below, it works ok on the OpenJDK8 builds:

(Note to anyone picking this up fo further investigation: At the moment jenkins is building using the following OSs. I've included the data for x86-64 build environments as well since the same issue does NOT occur on RHEL7/x86-64)
| Build | architecture | Jenkins label | OS built on | libc version |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8u144-b01 | ppc64le | ppc64le&&fedora |
Fedora24 | 2.23.1 |
| 9+181 | ppc64le | ppc64le&&fedora |
Fedora24 | 2.23.1 |
| 9+181-j9 | ppc64le | ppc64le&&openj9 |
Ubuntu ~~16.10~~17.04 | 2.24-3ubuntu2.2 |
| 8u144-b01 | x86-64 | linux&&x64&&openj9 |
Ubuntu 16.04.~~2~~3 | 2.23-0ubuntu9 |
| 9+181 | x86-64 | linux&&x64&&build |
Ubuntu 16.04.~~2~~3 | 2.23-0ubuntu9 |
| 9+181-j9 | x86-64 | linux&&x64&&openj9 |
Ubuntu 16.04.~~2~~3 | 2.23-0ubuntu9 |
I'm not sure any of this is conclusive since all machines have a later libc than 2.22, and the default vs openj9 machines have different levels (Fedora 24 vs Ubuntu 17.04) yet both builds seem to behave the same.
