Hi Heikki and team,


As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance AIX platform compatibility, we’ve been running the code across all stable PostgreSQL release branches using the build farm infrastructure. All test suites, including TAP tests, are passing consistently, indicating no regressions.

https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&br=REL_13_STABLE
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&br=REL_14_STABLE
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&br=REL_15_STABLE
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_history.pl?nm=douc&br=REL_16_STABLE << Also tested locally.

To further validated the patch, we executed the build farm scripts locally for PostgreSQL 17 and 18 on AIX. The corresponding test results are attached for reference.

We value your feedback and would appreciate your insights on the attached patch. Kindly request you to review and share your comments.


Warm regards,
Sriram.
