After [JDK-8354686](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8354686) the ubsan vptr 
checks still did not work. We finally found out, that they only work, if all 
linkage units are linked with the C++ compiler frontend as linker, especially 
the main executables (java, javac, ...) which are linked with the C compiler 
frontend.
So for a ubsan enabled build on AIX we let everything link with the C++ 
compiler frontend.
Background: The C++ compiler frontend inherently adds special static libraries 
which the C compiler does not. This results in missing symbols when trying to 
start a program and its shared libraries, when they were linked in mixed mode.
