Hi,
could you please review the following (mostly build) changes which I needed in order to build the complete OpenJDK on a 'vanilla' AIX system:

My main question is if they would break your current make system.
I've tried your patch on my AIX64 and LinuxPPC64 boxes, it did not break anything for me :)
The second question for now is how we want to handle dependencies on non-standard libraries like zlib, freetype and Xrender: should we require that the user installs them, should we copy them into the JDK distribution (as already arranged for by the OpenJDK build system for freetype) or just statically link all these libraries?
For your changes to src/share/native/sun/font/layout/KernTable.cpp, I have not met that before, is it caused by different compiler levels? I'm using XL C/C++ compiler version 11.1.0.11. Thanks and best regards Jonathan
Thank you and best regards, Volker
