Hm. That's a good point.
How about moving that error check into into the aix template file and
erroring out there? Since this is master I think it's perfectly fine to
refuse to work with the buggy unsupported 32 bit compiler. The argument
not to do so was that PG previously worked in the back branches
depending on the minor version, but that's not an argument on master.
