More precisely, AIX uses Stabx. It's similar to Stabs, but different in quite a few ways. To add to the confusion, GCC produces and GDB consumes a hybrid of Stabs and Stabx on AIX for some reason (xlc and the native dbx produce/consume pure Stabx, which is not understood by GDB; conversely, dbx does not understand the GCC/GDB Stabx-Stabs hybrid).
