Bug 38805

My initial symptoms were very similar to 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37006 ie "pthread" error 
when compiling under AIX 5.3 using gcc 3.3.2 This said gcc version too old, 
get a GCC for aix 5.3  from 
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/ezinstall.html and 
install gcc, gcc plusplus, c++ libs and c++devel libs and then the errors are 
gone.....

Which I have, and after a make distclean, the _compilation_ under gcc worked 
but I have an error I am unable to resolve with an undefined symbol with ld on 
AIX.

My compile/link/configure options for gcc/AIX 5.3 for a 64 bit compile are:-
#CFLAGS="-maix64"; export  CFLAGS; LDFLAGS="-maix64"; export  LDFLAGS; 
#EXTRA_LDFLAGS_SHLIB="-b64"; export  EXTRA_LDFLAGS_SHLIB; 

For the archiving program (ar) I set the -Xany option in the *.tmpl files and 
again in ./src/modules/standard/Makefile after  running ./configure

#./configure --prefix=$PREFIX--enable-shared=max --enable-module=most --with-
port=$PORT
#make

The following is the error message without adding -bnoquiet to 
EXTRA_LDFLAGS_SHLIB.

Target "default" is up to date.
