4.1 compile probs on RS6000-is this an AIX bug?

[Claude Errera]

Well, I've been trying to compile xgrass for a couple of days
now on an RS/6000 running AIX v3.2.0, and I've run into what
my sysadmin thinks might be a bug in AIX (he has heard rumors
that the loader has some troubles when there are too many external
variables). I thought I'd throw it out to the experts, just in case.

Problem: compilation of XDRIVER falls apart because of undefined 
symbols. Here is output from GISGEN:

Anybody have any clues? (In case anyone wonders what the extra included 
libraries are doing there, it was a desperate attempt to specifically 
include all libraries that even mentioned the offending functions. It 
made no difference.)

Thanks!
