I believe we may have more specific issues for the test failures on AIX (#982, #1397, #1011, adoptium/infrastructure#1127, eclipse-openj9/openj9#4732, https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8161083, https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8211851). Given that do we still need this one open?

No I'm happy to close this :-)
