<p>Fortunately, you can create sysroots for foreign architectures with tools provided by your OS. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, one could use <code>qemu-deboostrap</code> to create the <em>target</em> system chroot, which would have the native libraries and headers specific to that <em>target</em> system. After that, we can use the cross-compiler on the <em>build</em> system, pointing into chroot to get the build dependencies right. This allows building for foreign architectures with native compilation speed.</p>
<p>For example, cross-compiling to AArch64 from x86_64 could be done like this:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Install cross-compiler on the <em>build</em> system:</p>
<pre><code>apt install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu</code></pre></li>

<h3 id="building-for-armaarch64">Building for ARM/aarch64</h3>
<p>A common cross-compilation target is the ARM CPU. When building for ARM, it is useful to set the ABI profile. A number of pre-defined ABI profiles are available using <code>--with-abi-profile</code>: arm-vfp-sflt, arm-vfp-hflt, arm-sflt, armv5-vfp-sflt, armv6-vfp-hflt. Note that soft-float ABIs are no longer properly supported by the JDK.</p>
<p>The JDK contains two different ports for the aarch64 platform, one is the original aarch64 port from the <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/projects/aarch64-port">AArch64 Port Project</a> and one is a 64-bit version of the Oracle contributed ARM port. When targeting aarch64, by the default the original aarch64 port is used. To select the Oracle ARM 64 port, use <code>--with-cpu-port=arm64</code>. Also set the corresponding value (<code>aarch64</code> or <code>arm64</code>) to --with-abi-profile, to ensure a consistent build.</p>

### Creating And Using Sysroots With qemu-deboostrap
Fortunately, you can create sysroots for foreign architectures with tools
provided by your OS. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, one could use `qemu-deboostrap` to
create the *target* system chroot, which would have the native libraries and headers
specific to that *target* system. After that, we can use the cross-compiler on the *build*
system, pointing into chroot to get the build dependencies right. This allows building
for foreign architectures with native compilation speed.
For example, cross-compiling to AArch64 from x86_64 could be done like this:
* Install cross-compiler on the *build* system:
```
apt install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu
```
* Create chroot on the *build* system, configuring it for *target* system:
```
sudo qemu-debootstrap --arch=arm64 --verbose \
--include=fakeroot,build-essential,libx11-dev,libxext-dev,libxrender-dev,libxtst-dev,libxt-dev,libcups2-dev,libfontconfig1-dev,libasound2-dev,libfreetype6-dev,libpng12-dev \
--resolve-deps jessie /chroots/arm64 http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/
```
* Configure and build with newly created chroot as sysroot/toolchain-path:
```
CC=aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc CXX=aarch64-linux-gnu-g++ sh ./configure --openjdk-target=aarch64-linux-gnu --with-sysroot=/chroots/arm64/ --with-toolchain-path=/chroots/arm64/
make images
ls build/linux-aarch64-normal-server-release/
```
The build does not create new files in that chroot, so it can be reused for multiple builds
without additional cleanup.
Architectures that are known to successfully cross-compile like this are:
