[cfarm-users] Java is broken on GCC119

[Daniel B. Widdis]

It seems the java version available in /opt doesn't work.  It may have been
compiled before the upgrade.

To reproduce:

$ /opt/ibm-semeru-open-17-jdk/bin/java --version
openjdk 17.0.3 2022-04-19
IBM Semeru Runtime Open Edition 17.0.3.0 (build 17.0.3+7)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM 17.0.3.0 (build openj9-0.32.0, JRE 17 AIX ppc64-64-Bit
Compressed References 20220422_155 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
OpenJ9   - 9a84ec34e
OMR      - ab24b6666
JCL      - dc07fd49b92 based on jdk-17.0.3+7)
libc++abi: terminating
JVMDUMP039I Processing dump event "abort", detail "" at 2023/10/01 20:31:47
- please wait.
<more output of dump files>

I downloaded and unzipped the latest Semeru JDK into my home directory and
it executes just fine:

$ ./jdk-17.0.8.1+1/bin/java --version
openjdk 17.0.8.1 2023-08-24
IBM Semeru Runtime Open Edition 17.0.8.1 (build 17.0.8.1+1)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM 17.0.8.1 (build openj9-0.40.0, JRE 17 AIX ppc64-64-Bit
Compressed References 20230824_513 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
OpenJ9   - d12d10c9e
OMR      - e80bff83b
JCL      - 8ecf238a124 based on jdk-17.0.8.1+1)

This is an acceptable workaround for me, but it should probably be fixed
for everyone.

I tried installing in /opt/cfarm which the Wiki says should be writeable
for everyone, but it isn't for me:

$ cp -r java/jdk-17.0.8.1+1 /opt/cfarm
cp: /opt/cfarm/jdk-17.0.8.1+1: The file access permissions do not allow the
specified action.

Could a helpful admin please update/reinstall/fix Java on the system (or at
least delete the broken one and make /opt/cfarm writeable)?
