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

[Andrew Leonard]

fyi Christoph, i've managed to also test this fix at Adoptium on jdk8u with
Xlc 11.1 :
https://ci.adoptopenjdk.net/job/build-scripts/job/jobs/job/jdk8u/job/jdk8u-aix-ppc64-hotspot/1004/
So we should be good for Xlc12.1
Thanks
Andrew
