ppc-aix-port/jdk8 now builds on Linux/PPC64 with the new build system

[Steve Poole]

hi guys -  I successfully build jdk8 on linux ppc following your instructions :-)  

However , jtreg tests fail out of the box due to the missing  292 support.  :-(

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: This JVM does not support constant tag 18 in class file java/time/LocalDateTime

If you can integrate the support by end of monday that would be great - gives me time to run the jtreg tests before our phone call.

In the meantime I'll fix up the Date class to work around the issue..

Notice that the environment variables "CFLAGS=-m64 CXXFLAGS=-m64" are necessary for the configure script itself to detect the correct 64-bit platform while the configure options like "--with-extra-cflags" are needed in order to select the right flags for the build.
