Building 2.3.3 on AIX, term.h complaint


I am trying to build Python 2.3.3 on AIX. I believe that we are using gcc
2.95.3, but later in the ./configure output, it appears to say that gcc is
not being used. Does this suggest a real problem? Any suggestions?

$ uname -a
AIX kbs80 3 4 000C30CD4C00 unknown

$ whence cc
/tools/bin/cc

$ ls -al /tools/bin/cc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 internal tools 3 Jul 2 2001 /tools/bin/cc -> gcc

$ whence gcc
/tools/bin/gcc

$ gcc -v

Hi Paul,

I got the same message (AIX 5.1, xlC) but the compile went fine. I have seen
this warning on Linux a lot as well, when compiling various oss packages
(Samba comes to mind). Does your compile fail?

On a side note, I am unable to compile the modules, it fails with the
following error:

../Modules/ld_so_aix cc_r -bI:Modules/python.exp

Something you have come across?

Regards,
Rob
