2# AIX 3.x.x hints thanks to Wayne Scott <wscott@ichips.intel.com>
3# AIX 4.1 hints thanks to Christopher Chan-Nui <channui@austin.ibm.com>.
4# AIX 4.1 pthreading by Christopher Chan-Nui <channui@austin.ibm.com> and
5# Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi>.
6# AIX 4.3.x LP64 build by Steven Hirsch <hirschs@btv.ibm.com>
7# Merged on Mon Feb 6 10:22:35 EST 1995 by

11# Contact dfavor@corridor.com for any of the following:
12#
13# - AIX 43x and above support
14# - gcc + threads support
15# - socks support
16#
17# Apr 99 changes:
18#
19# - use nm in AIX 43x and above
20# - gcc + threads now builds
21# [(added support for socks) Jul 99 SOCKS support rewritten]
22#
23# Notes:
24#
25# - shared libperl support is tricky. if ever libperl.a ends up
26# in /usr/local/lib/* it can override any subsequent builds of
27# that same perl release. to make sure you know where the shared
28# libperl.a is coming from do a 'dump -Hv perl' and check all the
29# library search paths in the loader header.
30#
31# it would be nice to warn the user if a libperl.a exists that is
32# going to override the current build, but that would be complex.
33#
34# better yet, a solid fix for this situation should be developed.
35#
36
37# Configure finds setrgid and setruid, but they're useless. The man
38# pages state:
39# setrgid: The EPERM error code is always returned.
40# setruid: The EPERM error code is always returned. Processes cannot
41# reset only their real user IDs.
