Heikki Linnakangas 0b16bb8776 Remove AIX support There isn't a lot of user demand for AIX support, we have a bunch of hacks to work around AIX-specific compiler bugs and idiosyncrasies, and no one has stepped up to the plate to properly maintain it. Remove support for AIX to get rid of that maintenance overhead. It's still supported for stable versions. The acute issue that triggered this decision was that after commit `8af2565248`, the AIX buildfarm members have been hitting this assertion: TRAP: failed Assert("(uintptr_t) buffer == TYPEALIGN(PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, buffer)"), File: "md.c", Line: 472, PID: 2949728 Apperently the "pg_attribute_aligned(a)" attribute doesn't work on AIX for values larger than PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, for a static const variable. That could be worked around, but we decided to just drop the AIX support instead.
