 I did not actually run the code, especially on AIX, but trust you did
 (both with and without libm installed). Reading it sounds very
 reasonable; I am thus ready to give it a positive review.

 Quick variant:

     # On AIX libm is not installed by default - strange as that might seem
 -
     # While we are it, bos.adt is likely to contain other useful things
 for Sage
     if test "x`uname`" = 'xAIX'
     then
        AC_MSG_NOTICE([On AIX, libm is contained in the bos.adt.libm
 fileset.])
        AC_MSG_NOTICE([Actually, we recommend to install the complete
 bos.adt fileset.])

 Cheers,
                                 Nicolas

 The patch has been changed to include Nicolas's revised wording on the
 error message that is generated.
