When running regression tests and those fail, there is a file called
regressions.diff which gets generated in src/test/regress showing the
difference between the results generated and the results expected when
running the SQL queries which are part of the regression tests.
Attaching this file to this thread would help in determining what's
wrong with the regression tests.

Note that xlc 12.1 is tested with AIX machines on the buildfarms, but
there is no coverage for 13.1 visibly. It would be nice if you could
set up a buildfarm machine to catch problems way earlier.
