Gordon reported this off-list:

>>>> module:

>>>>  #  error "getprogname module not ported to this OS"

Thanks again for that report.
Here is a tentative patch (let's call it "pragmatic" -- it tests
explicitly for _AIX rather than a feature-test macro like
HAVE_GETPROCS64 and an additional macro from an autoconf test for the
existence of the procinfo.h header).

Can someone let me know if this solves the problem?
