There is a new POWER8 AIX 7.2 system in the GNU Compile Farm.  That is
the system running the GDB Buildbot for AIX.

Patches can be tested in the "custom" builder of the Buildbot, or you
can log in to the system directly.

gcc119.fsffrance.org aka power8-aix.osuosl.org

Laurent and I have not formally announced it because of a question
about I/O tuning, but the system works and is available.

Thanks, David
