Hi,

Agreed, I can't see a problem either!! And agreed on our toolset, when I
inherited this machine the compiler sat complaining that no licenses
were available but then went ahead and compiled after 30 secs in
anycase!!

I've now managed to get it compile cleanly, but the linking fails.The
error message doesn't give me much clue on where to look next.Please
forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, AIX and make are rather new
to me.

What should I 'make' of this (no pun intended 8-)

make

        make all-am

Any ideas ?

If you say so, I can't see it in my development version though.

It does a best effort of finding a compiler, yes. If that effort is not
good
enough, you can help it by setting the CC variable.

Your tool set seems to provide a real challange to the configure script!
;-)

Yes, that is the expected behavior. At least if cc works in a manner
that
configure can understand and agree with.
