Hello,  for a while the AIX build fails with the following error in the harfbuzz build 
    1500-004: (U) INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR while compiling OT::MarkBasePosFormat1::collect_variation_indices(hb_collect_variation_indices_context_t *) const.
Compilation ended. Contact your Service Representative and provide the following information: GRARNN: gr29643 is used before it is defined.

This xlc 16 version is used for compiling 
bash-4.4$ xlc -qversion
IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V16.1.0 (5725-C72, 5765-J12)
Version: 16.01.0000.0006

Solution by IBM compiler support is to use  "-qdebug=necan", this  effectively turns off an optimisation called "Early Re-canonizing" on the harfbuzz lib.
