RFR(S): Some AIX changes to build the complete OpenJDK on a 'vanilla' AIX system

[Volker Simonis]

Hi,

could you please review the following (mostly build) changes which I
needed in order to build the complete OpenJDK on a 'vanilla' AIX
system:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/aix_change_1/

My main question is if they would break your current make system.

The second question for now is how we want to handle dependencies on
non-standard libraries like zlib, freetype and Xrender: should we
require that the user installs them, should we copy them into the JDK
distribution (as already arranged for by the OpenJDK build system for
freetype) or just statically link all these libraries?

Thank you and best regards,
Volker
