I redid the build changing CFLAGS to "-maix64" and LDFLAGS to
"-Wl,-bbigtoc", and gmake check still doesn't run without first
modifying src/makefiles/Makefile.aix to add CFLAGS. The -maix64 from
CFLAGS is required to get contrib/spi to build since IBM's tools are
expecting objects using the 64-bit API to operate on, and if I were to
unset OBJECT_MODE, the linking would fail as ld cannot link against
XCOFF64 files in 32-bit mode.
