Swarm on IBM AIX

[Rob Kewley]

I am trying to run swarm in IBM AIX version 4 here at RPI.  I have
installed and compiled successfully all of the swarm libraries (1.0.2)
from source code.  I also successfully  compiled all of the objects in
my application.  However, linking is unsuccessful.  I get the following
error message:

        etc ........
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notice that I get the same "the csect is part ... .loader section." for
objects in the swarm libraries and my own application objects.  I am
using gnu make and gcc.  Also, the exact same source code compiles
successfully on Sun and Linux.  Are there any IBM AIX users out there
who can shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.
