A way to build PSQL 17.1 source on AIX platform

Hi 

I am getting error while building PSQL 17.1 on AIX box-

bash-5.1# uname -a
AIX AIXLPHPOM01 1 7 00F8B83A4C00

bash-5.1# ./configure --prefix=/home/raghu/postgres/psql17/build --without-readline
checking build system type... powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.4.0
checking host system type... powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.4.0
checking which template to use... configure: error:
*******************************************************************
PostgreSQL has apparently not been ported to your platform yet.
To try a manual configuration, look into the src/template directory
for a similar platform and use the '--with-template=' option.

Please also contact <pgsql-bugs@lists.postgresql.org> to see about
rectifying this.  Include the above 'checking host system type...'
line.
*******************************************************************

Is there an alternate way I can build PSQL 17.1 source code on AIX platform? Please let me know..thanks.

Regards
Raghu

As Tom has already answered in your other mail on this, PostgreSQL 17 does not
support building on AIX.  If PostgreSQL 18 is going to support AIX again there
needs to be a significant effort from interested parties to make that happen.
