Trying to build javax.mail v1.5.6 and v1.6.2 (REPOSITORY="https://github.com/javaee/javamail.git") on ppc64le platform, however facing the following errors:-

@bshannon any inputs on this one?

If all the errors are crypto errors, then it looks like all the crypto providers aren't available on this platform. That's not really a Mail issue. You might need help from a JDK crypto expert.
