This is really out of my league. This is clearly a matter of reading up on AIX
details and figure out what you need to do to build multi-threaded programs
for your operating system.

According to web page[1] I found:

  AIX maintains two kinds of libraries on the system, thread-safe and
  non-thread safe. Multi-threaded libraries on AIX follow a different naming
  convention, Usually the multi-threaded library names are followed with "_r".
  For example, libc.a is single threaded whereas libc_r.a is multi-threaded.

  To make your multi-threaded application run on AIX, you must ensure that you
  do not have a "system library path" in your LIBPATH environment variable
  when you run the application.
