Good to know.  Thanks.  Still doesn't explain why it was complaining about 
it, or why it would complain about the libraries that *were* built with 
the compiler.

I downloaded glibc.  According to the website, as well as ./configure and 
README, it has not been ported to AIX, and my boss would never let me 
spend time on that (even if I knew how, which I don't).

newlib appears to be for embedded systems, and is certainly not ported to 
AIX.
