AIX Changes

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi Steve,

sorry, I can't help you with that.  Freetype is only used in OpenJDK, therefore
we did not port it.  We use code that is not available in the open, so we may
not share it.

Sorry for that,
  Goetz.

Hi Goetz,

As we discussed via the phone yesterday I started to do a sanity build with this patch applied.    

One thing I've found already is that the freetypecheck fails to build as its makefile is not AIX aware and tries to use  -rpath. 
Your patch correctly fixes the same sort of problem in Program.gmk   so I assume that either you missed  make/tools/freetypecheck/Makefile  or you have another sort of work-around?
