This is surely not what's intended.  It seems like plpython is messing
things up somehow, probably through an #include-ordering error, but
I don't see the exact problem offhand.

I wondered why the existing 32-bit AIX buildfarm machines aren't showing
problems, but looking closer at them, they are manually forcing
_LARGE_FILES, which probably is masking things:

       'config_env' => {
                         'CC' => 'wrap-gcc -D_THREAD_SAFE=1 -D_LARGE_FILES=1 -maix32',

Noah, why'd you do that, and would you be willing to remove it?  IMO
Postgres should work without that.
