python 2.5.2 or Python 2.6 compilation problem on AIX 5.3

Hello:
I am trying to compile Python 2.5.2 on AIX 5.3 with gcc 4.2.3. I am
getting following error. (I also tried Python 2.6 with same error)

Stop.


I am not able to find the problem. I would appreciate, if you could
help. I used following command line options to confugure.
 ./configure --prefix=/home/hci/dinakar/python25 -enable-shared --with-
gcc

Thank you.
