Bug description:

gcc -pthread -maix64 -bI:Modules/python.exp -Wl,-blibpath:/QOpenSys/pkgs/lib:/QOpenSys/usr/lib  -lutil  -Wl,-hlibpython3.13.so ...
ld: 0706-012 The -h flag is not recognized.
ld: 0706-006 Cannot find or open library file: -l ibpython3.13.so
	ld:open(): No such file or directory

-h is not a valid linker flag on AIX. This seems to be a regression introduced in fa1d675309c6a08b0833cf25cffe476c6166aba3 as previously on AIX it would have gone in to the else leg and not used this flag.
