Ah, I figured out that bit: g++ will take this if you specify -maix64
to it too. The built module would not have worked anyway without
that, since it'd be 32-bit (AFAICT neither gcc nor g++ react to
the OBJECT_MODE environment variable).
It's not exactly clear why gcc will accept __int128 in 32-bit mode
while g++ won't, but that seems like another good reason to decide
that we won't support 32-bit builds on AIX anymore.
