Yes, your system should be supported. What exact Linux distribution are you
using?

You have to build it yourself, but that should be not too hard if you
follow the instructions at:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/ppc-aix-port/jdk7u/raw-file/tip/README-ppc.html

For reference, you can always download the complete build logs of our
nightly builds by clicking on the corresponding traffic lights at:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/ppc-aix-port/

Please share your build experience on the mailing list.

Regards,
Volker

Any suggestion/help is very much appreciated.
