RFR(XS): 8136690: AIX: libjimage should be linked with the C++ compiler
Hi, can somebody please review the following AIX change which fixes the build on AIX after "8087181 Move native jimage code to its own library (maybe libjimage)": http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/2015/8136690/ https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8136690 Change 8087181 moved the jimage code into its own library into the jdk repository. Although libjimage is a C++ library it is currently linked by the C compiler together with platform dependent C++ system libraries (and I'm not sure if this is done intentionally or if it is just a copy-and-paste error). On AIX linking a C++ library with the C-compiler doesn't work and we have to link the library with the C++ compiler which automatically adds all the required dependencies. Thank you and best regards, Volker

Looks good to me. /Magnus
