It is not going to be acceptable to sprinkle this much AIX-specific code
around. Those changes to the meson.build files were not needed before
AIX support was removed. You should find a way to do it without these
changes.

The changes in src/include/port/aix.h in your patch don't make sense.
This indicates that you are doing something wrong in your local builds.
Please fix that.
