ITS # 6547.
Knowing absolutely nothing about the platform, and assuming you're not
comfortable doing your own autoconf regeneration, I'd just s/aix5/aix6/g
in ./configure (i.e. edit the file) and see where you end up -- maybe
it'll work, maybe it won't, but my guess is it would be an extremely crude
starting point that might be usable after setting appropriate environment
variables.
If you're willing to help the Project validate new autoconf files, that
would be really helpful (I'm guessing we're limited in access to AIX
nowadays), and it would save you from having to do such disgusting things
in future releases. You can follow up to the ITS via e-mail if that's an
area of interest.

or figure out why it's complaining.
I understand that "ERROR" is an eye opener, but please realize that
autoconf basically just tries everything and uses anything that doesn't
error out. If shl_load isn't The Right Thing on AIX, this is a non-issue.
