Re: guile 1.6.8 make check failure on AIX 6.1

Hello,
I am currently trying this. But unfortunately the compile fails...

I will try to find the problem.

The following is true for both guile 1.6.x and 1.8.x:

The build tools used (config.guess, libtool, autoconf) are to old for 
AIX 6.1.
With the old tools it is not possible to build a shared version.

I managed to build a shared version of guile 1.6.8 witch passes the 
shared test but which fails the srfi-4.test test (please see last post 
to the list).

For the build tools I have used the following versions:

* config.guess: GNU config.guess (2008-01-07)
* libtool:  libtool --version / ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.25a 
(1.1220.2.481 2008/01/12 13:58:43)
* manual patch to configure; add aix6* after each aix5* -> I did not 
want to regenerated the whole thing with the new autoconf

Bye
