-Current CVS (after pgindent) compiles and regresses ok on AIX 4.3.2 
-using the IBM compiler. It has the following problems:
-1. AIX has int8,int16,int32,int64 in /usr/include/inttypes.h 
-       --> configure fails to find snprintf support for int8 (because it
-includes stdio.h)
-       I feel this is an IBM problem. I changed my inttypes.h
-2. No AIX in Makefile.shlib --> plpgsql.so is not built / no rule.
-       a number of other platforms are also missing there
-       a working rule is often in Makefile.port, but only for a single
-object
-       not multiple, which plpgsql has.
-       The single object rule in Makefile.aix can be used to make a
-plpgsql.so
-       from libplpgsql.a. I built it manually.
-3. libpq++ does not work because xlC does not have the string type/class ?

+PostgreSQL 6.5.2 compiles and regresses ok on AIX 4.3.2 
+using the IBM compiler. 
+gcc has problems with shared libs that are not easily resolved.
+
+The following regression tests fail because of different rounding
+behavior or error messages: 
+int2 ..  failed                -- same as int2-i386-netbsd.out
+int4 ..  failed                -- same as int4-i386-netbsd.out

+       I feel this is an IBM problem. I changed my /usr/include/inttypes.h
+       Either do that or comment out int8-int32 in src/include/c.h.
+       
+2. libpq++ does not work because xlC does not have the string and bool classes.
+       it does compile/work with gcc
