RFR (S): 8028066 : PPC64: 8025715 changes broke AIX build after sync

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Magnus,

thanks for your understanding:) I think it's not really the changes
which are good changes by themselves. I think it's the development
model and the fact that the integration takes so much time and that we
ran into the jdk8 closing time frame.

We will have one more round of integration trouble when you remove the
old build system and move the files of the new build system into the
old location. Hopefully, bigger changes will slow down afterwards...

Regards,
Volker
