Recently AIX internal CI is broken.
The error is as follows:
--------------------------------
aix-thread.c: In function 'void sync_threadlists(pid_t)':
aix-thread.c:857:53: error: cannot convert 'thread_info' to 'thread_info*' in initialization
857 | for (struct thread_info *it : all_threads_safe ())
| ^
aix-thread.c: In lambda function:
aix-thread.c:899:61: warning: declaration of 'thread' shadows a previous local [-Wshadow=compatible-local]
899 | thread = iterate_over_threads ([&] (struct thread_info *thread)

all_threads_safe() returns an all_threads_safe_range which is like an iterator to iterate for loops.
AIX is adjusting its code in aix-thread.c for the same.
