RE: AIX support

Hi Team, here are few updates.

As of now we have removed all the old changes and made the changes that are
pretty much required by building from scratch. We had few issues with our
hardware as a result it took a while to build the code.

Below are the changes done as of now.

commit d2b4b4c2259e21ceaf05e393769b69728bfbee99 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

>> git status

We are seeing this one issue as of now with ‘gmake check’…

After modifying the expected output for this testcase as below, the issue was
resolved and the test case passed. But we are trying to see the root cause of this.
"12:34:56-08:00"

We are working on the buildfarm setup to check the actual tests.

I shall keep you posted.

Warm regards,
Sriram.
