Comment(by drkirkby):

 I realised that I had not used Nicolas's exact wording for one of the
 messages, which was better than my own. Hence I have rebuilt the tar file.
 I checked again on AIX, and this is what it produced when I temporarily
 removed the maths library {{{/usr/lib/libm.a}}}


 {{{
 checking for sqrt in -lm... no
 configure: This system has no maths library installed.
 configure: On AIX, libm is contained in the bos.adt.libm fileset.
 configure: Actually, we recommend to install the complete bos.adt fileset.
 configure: This needs to be performed by a system administrator.
 configure: error: Exiting, since a maths library was not found.
