I installed the compiler patch. It fixed the compile problem on AIX 5.3.
When I try and build with full 64bit support, I get the following linker
error:
ld -o libperl.a -H512 -T512 -bhalt:4 -bM:SRE -bE:perl.exp -b

It does not like the -q64 option with ld. I am not certain what version of
ld it is aiming for here. The version of ld that comes with AIX does not
have a -q option. The gnu version has one, but it is elf-only. (Or so the
documentation on my Linux system claims.)
Any idea what it is trying to do? Looks like a bug or maybe I am missing
something else on AIX.
