Summary: Linking under AIX failing

Initial Comment:
I am encountering a situation where Python fails to 
link after compiling under AIX, using the VisualAge 
C/C++ 5.0 compilers. After configuring the source with:

env CC=cc CXX=xlC ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --
host=rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.3.0

I issue a 'make' which runs properly until it attempts 
to link:

        ar cr libpython2.2.a Modules/config.o  
Modules/getpath.o  Modules/main.o  Modules/gcmodule.o 
        ar cr libpython2.2.a Modules/threadmodule.o  
Modules/signalmodule.o  Modules/posixmodule.o  
Modules/_sre.o  Modules/newmodule.o  
Modules/symtablemodule.o  Modules/xxsubtype.o
        ranlib libpython2.2.a
        ./Modules/makexp_aix Modules/python.exp "" 
libpython2.2.a;   -Wl,-bE:Modules/python.exp -lld -o 
python  Modules/python.o  libpython2.2.a -ldl    -lm  
/bin/sh: -Wl,-bE:Modules/python.exp:  not found
make: The error code from the last command is 127.


Stop.


...at this point, I can manually issue that last  
command, inserting a "cc_r" before the -Wl,-
bE:Modules/python.exp in the command.

In looking at the Makefile generated, it appears that 
the command to link Python is being issued without the 
proper $(CC) in it. The relative section in the 
Makefile is under "# Build the interpreter". I am not 
familiar with the platform specific build options or 
autoconf, but if you have questions or would like more 
information let me know (bob@plankers.com).

Thank you!
