lpioctls are "local" versions of "pioctls".  I use them because they avoid
a very nasty mess of macros and general hackery, and since setcells would
be useless on an NFS-client anyway it isn't a loss of functionality.

I don't have a clue as to why this doesn't work on AIX 3.2.5.  I don't have
access to such a beast, so I can't help out too much.  My first suggestion
would be to use a native compiler (ANSI support optional) instead of gcc, if
you have one.   (If gcc isn't installed correctly it could cause problems.)

Outside of that, I don't have too many other suggestions.  Has anyone else
gotten any success building setcells on AIX 3.2.5?  If someone has a box
running this that they want to give me access to, I can *try* to look at the
problem, but without access to the operating system in question I can't be
of much more use.
