Ruby fails to build in AIX in 64bit mode.

This commit https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/f47c38245ff6976c5d1fc27a79f239bba00fc333 essentially broke the 64bit build.

The asm code is not applicable for AIX it seems. Probably we need to add a !defined(_AIX) check on this.

• Backport changed from 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN, 2.7: UNKNOWN to 2.5: DONTNEED, 2.6: DONTNEED, 2.7: REQUIRED

I've added a pull request to fix this, though I don't have the ability to test on AIX: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3717

Are you using GCC to build ruby? What was the error you hit?
