Hi @aixtools,
Welcome! Good job with aixtools.net, we used it quite a bit over the years :)
About your patch, probably it will be ignored in this form. Some notes:
- you need an official JBS issue for the toolchain to notify relevant mailing
lists. I can open one for you if you can give me a short concise bug text
explaining the issue.
- we have a ppc/aix mailing list. It's a bit deserted, but still a good place
to ask around or notify ppl of your intent to patch.
https://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/ppc-aix-port-dev
- and of course, we need you to sign the OCA.
Officially, I think IBM is now maintainer of the AIX port (they took over from
us, SAP). Are you affiliated with IBM?
Cheers, Thomas
I opened an issue for you to track this.
