We need to do this ASAP as we freeze at the end of next week. I doubt many people will be around next week either, so it may already be too late.  I'll try and keep an eye out, but today is my last work day of 2024.

[The build link I referenced above](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk8u-dev/pull/600#issuecomment-2551256620) was a special that I ran specifically against that branch (That isn't done automatically!) but in general they can be pulled from the API links referenced in that article e.g. https://api.adoptium.net/v3/binary/latest/8/ea/aix/ppc64/jdk/hotspot/normal/adoptium for the latest AIX jdk8u EA tag (unless it failed to build of course, like it does for AIX, so that link is currently serving up jdk8u432-b05 as the last one that built successfully)

Is the first link wrong? It take me to an AArch64 binary, not a post. It is really good to know this is being regularly tested.
