I haven't looked into the patch in detail, but just one comment here:
The guard on this block of code is
#ifndef DEPRECATED_IBM6000_TARGET
so it is executed on every target *but* AIX.  Removing it doesn't 
change the behaviour on AIX, so there should be no need to specially
test on AIX.

(In any case, I'll be happy to test patches on AIX if necessary.)
