Great!

Making sure that PostgreSQL compiles and works on all platforms is a
voluntary community effort. If you can spare some cycles, you should
consider setting up an AIX box as a PostgreSQL buildfarm member. That
will ensure that if someone makes a change to PostgreSQL that won't work
on AIX, the developers notice it right away and can fix it. Maintaining
a buildfarm member takes very little effort after setup, see
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Buildfarm_Howto. An AIX box
would be a welcome addition to the buildfarm, there is only one AIX
member currently, and it uses gcc rather xlc.
