Your patch was attached.

If I read it correctly, you've switched IBM943C to a template but there 
aren't additional aliases so this part is effectively a no-op, is that 
right? For IBM932C, you've moved it to be template and added several 
aliases.

The rest is AIX specific and I hope the SAP engineers that maintain the 
AIX port can help you. It may be that you are testing with locales that 
aren't supported configurations for the AIX port in OpenJDK. As a 
general point, we try to keep as many of the exotic and multibyte 
charsets out of java.base. They are of course still available to 
applications via the API and the jdk.charsets service provider module.
