RFR(S): 8154087: Fix AIX and Linux/ppc64le after the integration of the new hotspot build

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Volker, 

I had a look at your changes. Good that 'warning as errors' already
lead to a fix :)

Note that your changes might break the old build, as you remove the 
endianess check in flags.m4 etc.. I think this is ok, though, as else dead code
will remain in the file.

Looks good, reviewed.

Best regards,
 Goetz.
