> As of [JDK-8325880](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8325880), building 
> the JDK requires version 17 of IBM Open XL C/C++ (xlc). This is in effect 
> clang by another name, and it uses the clang toolchain in the JDK build. Thus 
> the old xlc toolchain was removed by 
> [JDK-8327701](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8327701).
> Now we also switch the HOTSPOT_TOOLCHAIN_TYPE from xlc to gcc, removing the 
> last xlc rudiment.
> This means merging the AIX specific content of 
> utilities/globalDefinitions_xlc.hpp and utilities/compilerWarnings_xlc.hpp 
> into the corresponding gcc files on the on side and removing the 
> defined(TARGET_COMPILER_xlc) blocks in the code, because the 
> defined(TARGET_COMPILER_gcc) blocks work out of the box for the new AIX 
> compiler.
> The rest of the changes are needed because of using 
> utilities/compilerWarnings_gcc.hpp the compiler is much more nagging about 
> ill formatted printf
