      Return the platform_tag of the system Python was built on.

aix_platform

aix_platform()


      AIX filesets are identified by four decimal values: V.R.M.F.
      V (version) and R (release) can be retreived using ``uname``
      Since 2007, starting with AIX 5.3 TL7, the M value has been
      included with the fileset bos.mp64 and represents the Technology
      Level (TL) of AIX. The F (Fix) value also increases, but is not
      relevant for comparing releases and binary compatibility.
      For binary compatibility the so-called builddate is needed.
      Again, the builddate of an AIX release is associated with bos.mp64.
      AIX ABI compatibility is described  as guaranteed at: https://www.ibm.com/    support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/install/binary_compatability.html

      For pep425 purposes the AIX platform tag becomes:
      "aix-{:1x}{:1d}{:02d}-{:04d}-{}".format(v, r, tl, builddate, bitsize)
      e.g., "aix-6107-1415-32" for AIX 6.1 TL7 bd 1415, 32-bit
      and, "aix-6107-1415-64" for AIX 6.1 TL7 bd 1415, 64-bit
