RFR: modified backport of 8265666 -> 8266558: Enable AIX build platform to make external debug symbols

[Andrew Leonard]

Hi Christoph,
I've tested with Xlc v13.1, we don't have Xlc v12 license at Adoptium
unfortunately. It should be fine with Xlc v12 as jdk8 does not try and use
any clang toolchain, so it uses the standard "-g" debug flag.
Thanks
Andrew
