This PR adds support for building for the aix/ppc64 target. The following minor changes have been made:

  • Add build tags where necessary to include aix with the other Unixes.
  • Update dependencies to versions that support building for aix/ppc64

To reproduce the build failure:

$ GOOS=aix GOARCH=ppc64 go build ./...
# github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-sdk/pathing
pathing/config_file.go:41:9: undefined: configDir
pathing/config_file.go:88:28: undefined: defaultConfigFile
# github.com/bgentry/speakeasy
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/bgentry/speakeasy@v0.1.0/speakeasy.go:23:18: undefined: getPassword
# github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr@v1.0.2/route_info.go:14:10: undefined: routeInfo
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr@v1.0.2/ifaddrs.go:116:13: undefined: NewRouteInfo
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/hashicorp/go-sockaddr@v1.0.2/ifaddrs.go:276:13: undefined: NewRouteInfo

The above command returns success when run with this PR's changes and the go-cty fix.

Test results from an AIX 7.3 system, again with the go-cty fix applied:

Hey @jtroy,

Thanks for the PR, and apologies for leaving it open for so long.

The changes make sense, please be aware though that while this change makes it possible for Packer and plugins to be compiled for AIX, we won't start releasing those builds because of the maintenance implications that it has, as we don't have the resources to maintain yet another arch/OS combo.

That said, I'll merge this today and make it part of the next release of the SDK, this way you will be able to rely on it for your developments, hope this is good enough for you.

Thanks again for the PR @jtroy, much appreciated!

Hi, @lbajolet-hashicorp, I should've mentioned that I have no expectation of any kind of official AIX support. Sorry about that. Thanks for pulling it in!

Don't worry, no need to be sorry at all, I just wanted to make sure to clarify that it's not in our priorities to support AIX :)
