in reply to trouble compiling perl 5.8.8 on AIX 5.3

Have a look at Google Groups. This seems to be a know issue and that thread suggests a few solutions.

I had looked at that thread earlier, I am specifying the -Dcc=gcc flag on the command line but makes no difference. This is what my configure command line looks like sh Configure -Dcc=/usr/local/bin/gcc -Duse64bitint

Hmm... Then have you also tried the fix in the third posting on this thread?

I've read that post my self but it seems to be related to informix. Still, in that regard a couple of follow up questions.
what's a cfglgo? I don't have that file on my system.
and what does the -b option do in the Makefile.

My Makefile has the correct CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc in it, I don't want to edit the CCDFLAGS= line without knowing what the flags are for. The problem is I can't find any references to these flags anywhere. I could copy my Makefile in this post but it is about 33K of text.
