Given https://reviews.llvm.org/rL276045 , I'm guessing the build worked 
at some point. Probably a small amount of work to fix if it's regressed 
somehow.  (See http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html .)

That said, there's no support for generating code for AIX targets. 
https://reviews.llvm.org/D18360 contains a small part of the necessary 
code for that, but it was never merged, and there hasn't been any work 
since.
