RFR(M): 8024265: Enable new build on AIX (jdk part)

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Volker,

You need different bug ID for these JDK changes.
8024265 (top level changes) is already fixed:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8024265

I created new one for you:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8024900

Thanks,
Vladimir
