Hello,
please review this small change . On AIX, it adds detection of xlc16 / clang to the build environment. The xlc16 package contains 2 compiler frontends : * The legacy xlc * The new clang-based xlclang++ For older xlc (12 / 13) we should for now still support the "legacy" xlc . For xlc16 the usage of xlclang++ is desired , because it promises better C++11/14 support (important for the coming JEPs dealing with C++11/14 features) . Additionally to the compiler detection , the debug-flag is changed to -g1 when xlclang++ is used (because of issues with -g) ; thanks to Steven for providing the info.
