Hi,
w.r.t the one issue below : is the awt load library code the only place you
need/are doing this ? If someone else (hotspot, core-libs) already
assented to this
then I guess I could too but I'd like to hear for sure that hotspot and
core-libs
teams both agree to this approach and whether there is an alternative.

Hi Phil,
thank you for looking at the changes. Please find my answers inline:
/* AIX does not provide the 'dladdr' function. But fortunately, we've

43 * well (see hotspot/src/os/aix/vm/porting_aix.{hpp,cpp}).
Whilst this is in "ifdef AIX" this reliance on an exported hotspot
function sounds hacky. What actual requirement is there that the
AIX class libraries be so tightly-coupled with that VM?
There is no contract there.
You're right, there is no contract. It's just pragmatic solution and I
think it should always work because the libjvm will always be loaded
at the point in AWT where it is used. Another solution would be to
re-implement the functionality in the class library and I don't like
code duplication either.
