Then I am guessing that AIX's getaddrinfo doesn't like AF_UNSPEC
family + AI_ADDRCONFIG hint.  If you use `wget -4
http://www.example.com/', does it then work?

That's what I meant, sorry.  But that is pretty much what
--with-ssl=/usr/local/include does.  (I misread your original message,
thinking that the OpenSSL includes were in an entirely different
location).

Yes.  I'd like to see config.log, or the relevant parts thereof, which
should contain errors.

But why don't I (and other non-AIX testers) have that problem?  Maybe
Libtool is doing something strange on AIX?
