Most of these are in the form:

I just checked the latest libtool 1.x (1.5.26) which only has aix[4-9]
patterns, nothing aix5 specific. Another source of trouble could be
autoconf (e.g. config.guess) and automake. Recent versions (2.64 resp.
1.10.2) seem to respect AIX 6 in their script.
I don't have an AIX system at hand at the moment, but last time I build
on AIX 6.1 I was astonished, that they used .a as a suffix for shared
libs. They have two types of shared libs, depending on when symbol
resolution is done.
My notes tell me, that at that time I changed the contents of libtool in
the following way:
hardcode_action=immediate -> hardcode_action=relink
hardcode_direct=yes -> hardcode_direct=no
hardcode_minus_L=no -> hardcode_minus_L=yes
I don't remember whether that was actually necessary.

I had autoconf 2.63 installed (I believe buildconf wanted at least
2.50). Automake I do not have installed, so I'll install that and try
again.
Step 1 - unpack the archive again, and run buildconf. I'll capture the
output to nohup.out - and check in a configure (directory) for
additional logs.
I have a POWER4 (AIX 6.1) and and POWER5 (with ivm and partitions, AIX
6.1 and AIX 5.3) so I can test several setups in parallel. Just
provide simple instructions. the libtool people seem to have put great
effort into aix5 and ia64. And a lot of the code seems to be gcc
related. I'll look into getting two partitions (5.3 and 6.1) with a
gcc compiler and see how things run.
I know the xlC v7 compiler is oldish (withdrawn from support 30-09-09)
but it is what I have.
Suggestions welcome!
btw: I believe AIX documentation says they use .so for shared objects,
but also support .a as a shared object archive. And of course, the
docs I found are on my other computer - that I cannot access at the
moment. As I get further I'll be working on a FAQ for
http://www.rootvg.net (I am webmaster there, and I am working on this
build for that portal.) btw - my other goal is to build a binary
distrubtion for AIX and publish it via rootvg.net.

So, the configure file are the same, but having automake installed seems
to influenced the contents of the build directory at least.
Next, the configure.log
