[PATCH] Skip bigcore.exp on AIX

[PATCH] Skip bigcore.exp on AIX

[Aditya Vidyadhar Kamath]

From: Aditya Vidyadhar Kamath <aditya.kamath1@ibm.com>

AIX does not support sparse core files, so bigcore.exp, which
allocates up to 16GB and then dumps core, is too slow and large there
and fails.  Add AIX to the list of targets without sparse corefile
support, so that the test is reported as untested.

In prose 'core file' is the right choice.  I only notice because you got
this write in the first sentence :)

But otherwise:

Thanks,

Thanks Andrew.

I have pushed the same.
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=f3b410cb2de961423672ed52764594e5b693a68d

Also made the core file word change. 😊

Regards,
Aditya.
