Meson appears to have AIX support, so it's worth trying out. If it's
working, then it would also be worth considering a meson-only AIX port,
which might be much simpler. 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.
