Thanks a lot for the initiative! I think this only needs some fixes in roottest/scripts/Event.mk, then it's ready to merge.

lgtm when @guitargeek's comments are addressed.
For when is the the cleanup foreseen for preprocessor guards for discontinued OSes, e.g. macOS versions :-P?

AIX has not been tested in a very long while (like only v5 and older) and is not yet supported enough by LLVM, see https://llvm.org/docs/JITLink.html#roadmap:
In addition, all the work-around are likely obsolete and/or have better alternative in AIX 7.3+ and thus should be redone if (when?) there is demand for a port to AIX.
