When Apple ported Mac OS from 68K to PowerPC they used IBM compilers and AIX
at first.  For this reason the format is the same.  In fact it is so similar
that I can still generate code for Power processors with Apples own PowerPC
compiler (which is unfortunately not really supported anymore).  If I had
the right libraries I could probably even compile and link AIX applications
on a Mac!
