Okay, I checked the spec for `nativeLinker()`.


     * @implNote The libraries exposed by the {@linkplain #defaultLookup() 
default lookup} associated with the returned
     * linker are the native libraries loaded in the process where the Java 
runtime is currently executing. For example,
     * on Linux, these libraries typically include {@code libc}, {@code libm} 
and {@code libdl}.


So AIX is free to supply a nativeLinker that does not expose any symbols 
whatsoever, if they do not use dynamic libraries. Then it kind of turns into a 
test issue anyway, if the tests are written to assume that nativeLinker would 
return such symbols.

Returning an arbitrary list of hard-coded symbols as is proposed in this PR 
still seem like the wrong solution to me.
