Hi there-
Yes, on AIX 6.1 we need to be building 64-bit, as there is no 32-bit on 6.1.
The 32-bit kernel is available on AIX 5.3 and below. On XL C, the default is
-q32.
So, we should probably tweak something to always build as 64-bit on AIX
6.1... Alternatively, for userland stuff, the krb5-libs package provides both
32-bit and 64-bit libraries... It is interesting that krb5-config isn't doing
the right thing for 32-bit...
Thanks!
-Ben

Thanks!
It looks like your /opt/freeware/bin/krb5-config is trying to use 64-bit
libraries, but at least configure is trying to build for 32-bit:

ld: 0711-736 ERROR: Input file /opt/freeware/lib64/libkrb5.so:
XCOFF64 object files are not allowed in 32-bit mode.
So if the krb5-config output gets rejected, configure will fall back to
some heuristics for how to link krb5, and those heuristics are wrong in
this case.
I'm not super familiar with the mechanisms to get 32- vs 64-bit output from
the compiler/linker on AIX, but random googling suggests that maybe passing
CFLAGS=-q64 to configure would affect that aspect of things? (It might
break something else, of course.)
For what it's worth, most of the OS-specific build settings are in
src/cf/osconf.m4, and for rs_aix61 we currently show:
rs_aix61)
CC="cc"
DBG="-g"
LIBSYS_AIX_EXP="afsl.exp"
MT_CC="xlc_r"
SHLIB_SUFFIX="o"
XCFLAGS="-K -D_NONSTD_TYPES -D_MBI=void"
XLIBS="${LIB_AFSDB} ${LIB_libintl} -ldl"
SHLIB_LINKER="${MT_CC} -bM:SRE -berok"
AIX32="no"
AIX64="yes"
TSM_IMPORTS="-bI:/lib/aio.exp -bI:/lib/netinet.exp
-bI:/lib/sockets.exp -bI:/lib/statcmd.exp"
TSM_LIBS="-lsys -lcsys -lc"
;;
The AIX32 and AIX64 variables are not widely used in the buildsystem, but
the one place they do show up suggest that this does indicate that we
"expect to" be building 64-bit libraries on this system. Perhaps there's
some skew in compiler defaults between when that was written and what you
have.
