I'd love to see similar comments in mkldexport.sh explaining what it does. And also why the script is needed on AIX in the first place.

Conversely, if it doesn't work at all, it would need to be fixed. I don't think we'd want to accept a new port that doesn't work with meson.
Before the removal PG passed tests on AIX, when built with meson. IIRC it shared the annoying symbol handling script with autoconf though.
