problem compiling on AIX (64-bit)

[David McWilliams]

I am trying to compile 64-bit Python 2.3.4 for AIX 5.2.

Here are my commands:

  setenv OBJECT_MODE 64
  ./configure --disable-ipv6 --without-gcc --with-thread
  make CC=xlC_r OPT="-O2 -qmaxmem=4000"

Below is the error in the makefile. Does anyone have any suggestions?
