Not sure what that last sentence means.

I can well believe that AIX is, exactly that, less forgiving and returns 
different error codes than many other Unices.   There is no AIX-specific code 
in openssl around file access.  Trying "ls -ld" on /usr and /usr/local and 
/usr/local/ssl and checking errno might be interesting.
