Thanks Michael!

Do we know how to move this forward? It would be good to have an AIX 7.3 machine in the jenkins set for testing. We also have the system in...

@Haroon-Khel Ref earlier conversation the above comments suggest the machine has not yet made it to being usable because there are issues with `git` - is that correct?

Downgrading to `git-2.31.1-1.ppc` with `dnf` (Same version as some of the other AIX systems) seems to have resolved this (see https://ci.adoptium.net/job/Grinder/8197/console - it has definitely got further), but a subsequent...

I'm done for now - someone else can take over this investigation and comparison with a working system :-) There is a /usr/lib64/libbz2.a that should correctly work with a 64-bit...

Noting that the 7.3 machine which is live in jenkins is not currently capable of running the smoke tests for JDK head: ``` 15:42:39 Uncompressing OpenJDK-debugimage_ppc64_aix_hotspot_24_24-ea.tar.gz over ./j2sdk-image... 15:42:39 tar...
