RFR: JDK-8214063: OpenJDK will not build on AIX while using the xlc 13.1 compiler

Hi Adam, Ichiroh,

this is actually exactly what I wanted to propose in the mail I was
just writing :)

You may have noticed that I've renamed the bug to "8214063: [AIX]
Disable symbol visibility flags". For the next step which will enable
symbol visibility on AIX we already have the following issue "8204541:
Correctly support AIX xlC 13.1 symbol visibility flags" [1]. Please
assign yourself and use it once the issues are resolved.

In the meantime I've tested your change and it works fine with xlC 12.
I've only added a reference to the JBS id in the comments. Please find
a webrev of the new version here:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~simonis/webrevs/2018/8214063/

I can sponsor that change once you and Ichiroh confirm that it also
works for you with xlC 13 and I get one more review. I've opened a new
thread for this on build-dev because the fix has now degenerated into
a pure build change:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2018-November/024096.html

Please answer on that new thread.

Regards,
Volker

PS: I don't think it makes too much sense investing into xlC 13.
You're probably aware of "JEP 347: Adopt C++14 Language Features in
HotSpot" [2] which will start introducing C++14 language features
soon. So it may be wiser to test right with the new beta of xlC 16
because, as far as I know, there's no chance to get C++124 support
into xlC 13 anyway.
