Chandan Singh requested to merge chandan/ibm-7-platform into master Dec 23, 2019

uname -m is unusable in case of IBM AIX 7 as it reports the serial number of the machine. As a workaround, special case it and use the reported processor identifier.
tests/format/optionos.py: Don't use AIX for unsupported architecture

AIX is special-cased in BuildStream, so use a different system for testing unsupported architectures.
