Hello, 

I am just trying to build Perl 5.6.1 on AIX 4.3.3 ML 6 with GCC 2.95.3.

Configure just works fine (much better than in Perl 5.6.0), but when I try to make, the  
compilation of pp_sys.o fails with the errors listed below. I have seen on the mailing 
list archive that some people had the same problem, but could not find any solution 
to it. 

The error messages from the compilation are as follows: 

`sh  cflags libperl.a pp_sys.o`  pp_sys.c
          CCCMD =  gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include  -D_LARGE_FILES  -O

Is there a fix to this problem available? 

Thanks and best regards,
