[issue39936] Python fails to build _asyncio on module on AIX

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

AIX_BUILDDATE variable is written in pyconfig.h by configure:

> https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/119/builds/383

configure: "checking for the system builddate... 1806"

> https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders/119/builds/451

configure: "checking for the system builddate... 1806"

So AIX_BUILDDATE seems to be set in both case.

But on build 451, the "build/lib.aix-7100-9898-32-3.9-pydebug" directory name contains 9898: this number comes from _aix_support._MISSING_BD. It's used when _have_subprocess is false or when get_config_var("AIX_BUILDDATE") cannot be converted into an integer.
