This testcase I added failed to compile on AIX or older linux due to
the use of aligned_alloc(). Now fixed to use posix_memalign if
available, and valloc otherwise.

Now it compiles and passes on x86_64 (fedora 25), ppc64 (RHEL6.8), and
AIX. OK for trunk?

Is valloc preferable to aligned_alloc on all systems where posix_memalign
does not exist?  Okay for trunk if so.  Thanks,

My reasoning here was to use the modern function (posix_memalign) if
available and otherwise fall back to valloc which is in glibc dating
back to 1996 and openbsd's man page says it was added in BSD 3.0 so
pretty much anything should have it.

Thanks,
    Aaron

Recent AIX does provide aligned_alloc() and posix_memalign().
