Hi all,
please take a look at this small fix. In short, on AIX when linking the
gtest version of libjvm.so, the TOC overflows.
So the gtest libjvm.so must be linked with -bbigtoc, in contrast to the
regular libjvm.so, which has no problems and can keep using a small TOC.
Also, I compile all gtest objects with -qpic=large. Note that this only
affects the gtest objects. The regular objects - which the gtest libjvm.so
shares with the regular libjvm.so - I left at -qpic[=small]. This means we
pay a bit of a performance overhead in the gtest libjvm.so but leave the
regular libjvm.so at its optimal linker settings.

Kind Regards, Thomas
Because cr.openjdk.java.net is still down, here the zipped webrev as
attachment.
