Seeking guidance to install OpenJDK on AIX 7.1

You may try your luck but as I wrote, the binaries you have are old,
untested, unsupported and not even from a tagged and released version.
They are only intended to enable people to build their own versions of
OpenJDK. We won't support that version in any way.
So at the first error you'll encounter, we will ask you to try with
the latest version before we take any action :)
Regards,
Volker
