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.
