Thanks. I'll update the patch to do this.

Not really. There's only XCOFF in its 32-bit and 64-bit variations. We're building LLVM as a 64-bit application, so I think XCOFF64 is the right object format to select.

I'm not certain how capable it is at this time of producing JIT-linkable objects. We've been trying to enable functionality for building C/C++ applications using Clang on AIX (which we had set up to call out to the system assembler). The direct object code generation started out with XCOFF32 and we ended up building that out further and further without getting to the XCOFF64 side.
