Thanks for the patch, this supports it:
<http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B891755&x=17&y=16>.
It should have a NEWS entry and a manual update, too. Could you run the
Autoconf test suite (make check) with it on Interix to see how it fares?
(I wonder whether the macro should keep the same name, get a new name
together with a backward compatibility AU_DEFUN of AC_AIX, or just be a
separate macro that also gets required by AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.)
Thanks,
Ralf
