AIX continues to use its ABI, which essentially is closely related to ELFv1 and uses the XCOFF file format and syntax.
When you say "closely related" is it close enough that the same assembly can be used as for ELFv1? I don't remember if Maamoun or someone else tested Nettle's powerpc64 assembly on AIX?
Is there some established common name for this calling convention, for both ELFv1 and XCOFF? Otherwise, I'd refer to it as ELFv1, even though it works on non-ELF AIX too.
