The context for the link in PortConfig.java is: 


// The ephemeral port is OS version dependent on AIX:
// http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/aix/v7r1/topic/com.ibm.aix.rsct315.admin/bl503_ephport.htm
// However, on AIX 5.3 / 6.1 / 7.1 we always see the
// settings below by using:
// /usr/sbin/no -a | fgrep ephemeral
defaultLower = 32768;
defaultUpper = 65535;


So while the FAQ link I changed this to confirms the port numbers here, it probably makes the comment "The ephemeral port is OS version dependent on AIX" somewhat stale. Seems the original linked document somehow contradicted the observed settings? So if we use my suggested FAQ link, perhaps it is better to remove the surrounding comment altogether, as it seems stale. 

For `ProcessImpl_md.c`, the obsolete link was to a request for clarification to what I think may be an early version of some POSIX standard. If I'm right, the current version is https://www.iso.org/standard/50516.html, which is not publicly available (requires paid access).

But yes, would be nice if some AIX people could have a look at this.
