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.
