Erik Joelsson told me that it is possible to use the same BugID for
related changes to different forests and it is the way we did it for
"8017568: Enable new build on Linux/PPC64":

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/ppc-aix-port/stage/rev/3ef3f4174c2b
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/ppc-aix-port/stage/jdk/rev/2465dffd6054

Actually, you pushed both of them:)

But it's no problem to use the new BugID. I'll take it for pushing.

Thanks for creating it,
Volker
