Hi Pádraig,

On AIX the following test fails:

     $ make TESTS=tests/misc/stdbuf.sh check
     [...]
     FAIL: tests/misc/stdbuf.sh
     [...]

This is because AIX does not support the LD_PRELOAD environment
variable. Copying the text from their docs [1]:

     The LDR_PRELOAD and LDR_PRELOAD64 environment variables make it
     possible for a process to preload shared libraries. The LDR_PRELOAD
     environment variable is for 32-bit processes, and the LDR_PRELOAD64
     environment variable is for 64-bit processes.

The attached patch fixes it.

Not sure if this warrants a NEWS entry. I'll let you decide.

Collin
