When backporting, it would be good if you could detail any changes you had to make to get the patch to apply and build on the new target.

>From comparing the 11u & 17u versions, the changes I see are:

1. Context difference in `make/autoconf/libraries.m4`
2. `NULL` vs `nullptr` in `src/hotspot/share/utilities/ostream.cpp`
3. Absence of [JDK-8265101](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8265101) so `os::get_host_by_name` has to be removed from AIX, BSD, Linux and Solaris `os_<os>.inline.hpp` files rather than just `os_posix.cpp`

Assuming these changes tally with your experience, this seems fine to me.
