ppc-aix-port/jdk7u now builds with xlC12 on AIX 7.1

[Volker Simonis]

Hi,

with the new March 2013 PTF for XL C/C++ V12.1
(http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034636) it is now
possible to build the complete ppc-aix-port/jdk7u JDK7. We've switched
our nightly build on AIX 7.1
(http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/ppc-aix-port/index.html) to use
xlC 12 a few days ago and haven't found any issues until now.

Should you encounter any issues, please let us know.

Regards,
Volker
