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

[Volker Simonis]

You don't have to fix the Date class for that. You can just use
-XX:+EnableInvokeDynamic.
That will of course not fix JSR 292, but it will work around the problem
with the not supported constant tag 18 in class files.

Sorry that I forgot to mention that in my mail.

Regards,
Volker

PS: and by the way, this issue currently also prevents bootstrapping the
jek8 build with a freshly build jdk8 VM :(
