Hmm. I think the command in Makefile.aix is correct, since it's only
doing a link and not a compilation.

$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS_SL) -o $@ $*.o -Wl,-bI:$(top_builddir)/src/backend/$(POSTGRES_IMP) -Wl,-bE:$*$(EXPSUFF) $(SHLIB_LINK)

Given that you want -maix64 to be supplied in both compilation and
linking phases, you could either add it to both FLAGS variables, or
put it in CC:

CC="gcc -maix64" ...

I've done stuff like the latter fairly often when fooling with 32/64 bit
build environments.
