I was writing instructions by result of expirements with jdk14.  I
have been able to run -STABLE compiled jdk14 at -CURRENT with these
instructions.  So, I assumed that jdk13 is same.  But recently (after
libm issues was fixed in -CURRENT) it was found that Diablo attempts
to dlopen /usr/lib/libc.so, which should be replaced with
/usr/lib/compat/libc.so in -CURRENT case.  Diablo need to be fixed.

Anyway, libm issue no more with recent -CURRENT.
