[issue4026] fcntl extension fails to build on AIX 6.1

Sorry to be pedantic - but it looks like (don't have a build environment at hand at the moment) it will fail to build as 64bit on the not-so-up-to-date AIX with missing 64bit flock implementation:
There, the compile-check will succeed and define HAVE_FLOCK, but the link-check will fail - which really should reset have_flock to 'no'.
IMO, HAVE_FLOCK should be defined when _both_ checks succeed only, not upon the compile-check only as it is done now.
Thank you!
