> This PR fixes AIX specific layout generation issues related to incorrect alignment double and pointer types.
> 1. Structs containing double fields fail with:
>     i. Unsupported layout: 4%D8
>     ii. Invalid alignment constraint for member layout
>     double in AIX structs has size 8 but alignment 4 (except as first field). AIX specific handling for C_DOUBLE computes the     correct alignment.
> 
> 2. Clang was detected as 32-bit due to missing -m64 during macro extraction, causing inconsistent macros. This caused jextract to interpret pointer constants incorrectly, leading to failures like:
> expected [-1] but found [4294967295]
> 
> 3. TestNestedAnonOffset.java test failed on AIX because it also expects more padding similar to platforms like windows and linux
> 
> 
> After the patch jtreg tests passes successfully.
