Research direction

Start by reading the linked issue18235.patch and the issue history, then trace how _sysconfigdata.py is produced for AIX installations. Verify the behavior on an AIX build and compare the generated configuration data with the expected installation result; done means the reported AIX discrepancy is fixed and the relevant build checks pass.
