In hopes of moving this effort along, I've posted a draft patch
for that part here:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/1127261.1769649624%40sss.pgh.pa.us

We are running out of time to make this happen for v19, so
I suggest focusing your effort if you don't want to see
AIX support slide for another year.
