Build log with error from doubled patches and compiler1 build.

In an attempt to build against the new BSD powerpc64 support, discovered
several conditions that caused the build to fail.  Error logs attached.

- Openjdk8 needs updating to support BSD powerpc64. Default file defaults to a
mix of Zero VM and mixed-mode. 

- Patches adding BSD powerpc64 support are doubled in "patch-bsd" file and
causes errors. 

- Integration of powerpc64 patches causes build attempt against "compiler1",
which does not support powerpc on any platform, i.e., AIX, Linux. 

- Changes needed in BSD "defs.make" to support BSD powerpc.  

- New patch needed for changes to powerpc "sharedRuntime_ppc.cpp".
