Ok, the vote thread was interesting, but very long.
Thanks for the hints - they helped, but.... I was still having issues.
To get as clean a build environment I started with a new one. Hopefully,
this will reveal any hidden dependencies (hidden to me at least). Your help
in resolving these missing "links" is greatly appreciated.
1. Installed a new server with AIX 6.1.2, added bos.adt.libm and
bos.adt.syscalls, and then installed vac.C.

2. Now I build and install pcre-8.0.0.0 at /opt/aixt.
3. Run ./configure as:
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/aixt/apache2 --enable-layout=Apache
--enable-module=so --enable-mods-shared=most --with-pcre=/opt/aixt
--with-z=/opt/freeware
The command seemed to work - but that was because it did not stop when had
some errors. Since make distclean did not work the next step was:
4. rm the /data/prj/httpd-2.3.4-alpha directory, restore from downloads and
repeat configure and watch...
perhaps expat is a hidden (to me) dependency:

So, try make again - there is a Makefile at least.
This runs for a bit and stops with this error:
