Dear all,

After several months of absence - my first manual build surprised me by the addition of the -qalias=noansi.

Before I open an issue - maybe it is not that important - I am trying to find what brought it in. It looks to be a change in behavior in configure(.ac) - starting with Python3.9.

Historical builds - and make.out:

py38-3.8.7/.buildaix/make.out:0
py39-3.9.0/.buildaix/make.out:239
py39-3.9.1.0/.buildaix/make.out:254
py39-3.9.1/.buildaix/make.out:148
py3a-3.10/.buildaix/make.out:244

Prior to Python3.9

xlc_r -c  -DNDEBUG -O -I/opt/include -O2 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5 -q64 -I/opt/include -O2 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5 -q64    -I../src/py38-3.8.7/Include/internal

i.e., the flags became:

xlc_r -c  -DNDEBUG -O -I/opt/include -O2 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5 -q64 -I/opt/include -O2 -qmaxmem=-1 -qarch=pwr5 -q64  -qalias=noansi -qmaxmem=-1 -I../src/py38-3.8.7/Include/internal

Note the flags have been repeating themselves for a long time, but now - after the repeated flags `-qalias=noansi -qmaxmem=-1` is being added. my gut repsonse is that I do not like seeing 'noansi' being passed as a flag to the compiler and I am trying to understand why - also how.

Fyi: using `git log` I have tried to get any clue re: CFLAGS_NODIST and/or -qalias=noansi - but I do not seem to be skilled enough to find that information.

Help is appreciated - and, thereafter, as needed, I'll open an issue.

Regards,

M Felt aka aixtools
