GCC does not grok the command line options used by perl to build modules
on AIX, so you pretty much have only one choice, namely use the IBM C
compiler. I had more than one problem with gcc over the years, so I
believe both compilers are on par problem wise. The IBM C compiler
appears to produce much better code on POWER/PowerPC machines, so I
stick with it.
