    Extract of David Edelsohn's email:
    """
    The testsuite failures on AIX are issues with the AIX kernel and C
    Library, often corner cases. I don't want to get into arguments about
    the POSIX standard. Some of the issues are actual conformance issues
    and some are different interpretations of the standard. Addressing
    the problems in AIX is a slow process. If the failing testcases are
    too annoying, I would recommend to skip the testcases.

    Despite the testsuite failures, Python builds and runs on AIX for the
    vast majority of users and applications. I don't see the benefit in
    dropping support for a platform that functions because it doesn't
    fully pass the testsuite.
    """

    I agree, so let's skip tests known to fail on AIX!

    See also #978 which should fix one unit test of test_ssl.

    The issue title is very generic. I skipped some tests. I may reopen a new issue if I see other tests that can be skipped on AIX.
