Build on AIX 5.3 using xlc 8

Greetings,

I have built both Perl 5.8.8 and 5.9.4 on AIX 5.3 successfully, but I get 
one error in "make test". 

t/op/stat............................................# Failed at op/stat.t 
line 274
#      got '3'
# expected '2'
FAILED at test 38

After running "perl harness" in the "t" directory, I get:

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail  List of Failed
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
op/stat.t                 95    1  38
 (5 subtests UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED), 81 tests and 412 subtests skipped.
Failed 1/1285 test scripts. 1/170188 subtests failed.

414.22 CPU)
Failed 1/1285 test programs. 1/170188 subtests failed.

Make test on 5.8.8 also fails with this error in addition to the above 
error:

ext/IO/t/io_sock..........................FAILED at test 15
ext/IO/t/IO...............................Can't run ../ext/IO/t/IO.t.

Has anybody seen this before on this platform, and how do I proceed?

Many thanks in advance.
