not OK as shipped perl@7463, AIX 4.1.4.0, cc 3.1.3.3

I briefly noted a small type warning (which was unfortunately truncated by 
cut-n-paste):

        `sh  cflags libperl.a pp_sys.o`  pp_sys.c
          CCCMD =  cc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_ANSI_C_SOURCE -D_POSIX_SOURCE -qma
 "pp_sys.c", line 4415.14: 1506-068 (W) Operation between types "struct hostent*" and "in.

But the real problem was with the symbols for .Perl_deb. On
this older version of AIX and older version of cc I now see:

        LD_RUN_PATH="" ld -o ../../lib/auto/re/re.so  -bhalt:4 -bM:SRE -bI:../../perl.ex
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .Perl_deb
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more
information.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 8.


Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.

So yes Jarkko, apparently I was being too restricive in the ccversion
comparison I did.  A fix will have to await some time when I can
experiment with an ext/re/hints/aix.pl implementation, but I thougt
that I'd just send this note out before I head out the door for the
weekend.
