Test build of main hotspot repositories with our port

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi,

In the recent past we had several changes that broke features used
in the ppc aix port.  So far we only detected these after updating
hotspot in the staging directory and building that with our patches
on top.

To detect such issues early, we installed a build that

-          Clones the 5 hsx hotspot directories

-          Pulls the changes from the staging directory there

-          Applies the remaining patches

-          Builds this and does a very basic test.
The results can be seen here, in the second table:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/ppc-aix-port/index.html

Today, the test shows that the core build is broken, I filed a fix for
that.  In future we hope to catch such problems even more early.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
