But this isn't working on AIX, because the ar flags -rcs are not available on AIX. Also the nm calls of this target use the added -X64 already. Can somebody tell when this is used to test this too?

The STATIC_BUILD configuration option (`--enable-static-build`) is different from the static libraries built for Graal with the `static-libs-image` target. The former was introduced in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8136556. IMO, it's fine to not test that and just add `$(NMFLAGS)` after `$(NM)` in NativeCompilation.gmk for consistency.
