AIX is not supported by Postgres 17.X. IBM has made noises about
contributing the necessary effort and expertise to re-support it
in 18.X and later ... but so far they haven't entirely followed
through. See discussion here:

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/CY5PR11MB63928CC05906F27FB10D74D0FD322(at)CY5PR11MB6392(dot)namprd11(dot)prod(dot)outlook(dot)com

Personally, I'd be much happier anyway if there were a grassroots,
community-driven effort to deal with the problems that made us
remove the AIX port. If you can be part of that, step right up.
