Seems OK to me - src/tools/cargo/crates/cargo-util/src/paths.rs also may want a similar change.

fix: AIX searches dynamic libraries in `LIBPATH`.

### What does this PR try to resolve?

On IBM AIX machines people have encountered issues in `compiletest` and rustc's bootstrap builder. They haven't encountered any in cargo. This PR is made for avoiding potential failures in the future in cargo.

It's documented in <https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/libpath-environment-variables-aix-platforms>:

> The `LIBPATH` environment variable tells AIX applications where to find shared libraries when located in a different directories than those specified in the header section of the executable.

See also the counterpart in <rust-lang/rust#109526>

### How to verify and test this in Cargo's CI?

This is indeed an issue. At IBM people are maintaining a buildbot since GitHub Action doesn't support AIX yet.
