That doesn't sound too dissimilar from the situation on Windows: most of the symbols we can dynamically look up in `ucrtbase.dll`, but some symbols are 'inline', so we create our own library that re-exports these functions through a table of addresses (take a look at `/src/java.base/windows/native/libsyslookup/syslookup.c` Maybe something similar could be done on AIX: i.e. include a fallback library that statically links the missing functions, and then re-exports them through a table or addresses. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/16414#issuecomment-1816538275
