The buildfarm results you sent look good.  You should definitely be
testing branch master though rather than the stable ones, because it's
not clear to me, as Bruce said, that we would really backpatch AIX
support to stable branches.  (You're of course free to produce your own
packages from patched versions, in the interim).

I noticed that you add mkldexport.sh and that the makefiles use it.  I
wonder if that really is necessary with the current AIX tooling (it
looks an outdated gadget).

Also, I notice that Meson supports AIX starting from version 0.56; did
you verify whether it works to build this with that?
