The BSD port is in maintained downstream rather than in OpenJDK and no 
requirement that it builds on BSD before integrating changes here. It's 
somewhat historical that there are Bsd* classes here, it dates from 
initial macOS port and Apple contributions in 7u4.

We aren't required to do any building or testing on AIX prior to 
integrating changes. Instead, we've always left it to SAP or IBM to keep 
that port alive. So apologies, there will be periodic breakage and needs 
someone with easy access to AIX systems to keep it working.
