Description
Change 8087181 moved the jimage code into its own library into the jdk repository. Although libjimage is a C++ library it is currently linked with the C compiler together with the platform dependent C++ system libraries (and I'm not sure if this is done intentionally or if it is just a copy-and-paste error).

On AIX this doesn't work and we have to link the library with the C++ compiler which automatically adds all the required dependencies.
