Your current version still serves the purpose of disallowing usage of xlc 16 
and below. Users of the old compiler will get to know which compiler to use at 
minimum.
Users of any Open XL compilers are not affected because 
"TOOLCHAIN_MINIMUM_VERSION_xlc" is not used for that AFAICS. But that's ok IMHO 
because the minimum clang check will be in place and the supported compilers 
are documented 
(https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms).
So, I think this PR could get integrated and the old build pipeline get removed 
in a separate PR. Do you agree @JoKern65?
