Samba-2 on AIX

Ok - I just tested that Samba-2 will compile on our AIX
box (samba2) - and if you do a :
CFLAGS="-D_LARGE_FILES -O" ./configure
it even does the 64 bit file support !
However, an annoyance is that the arguments
to things like accept() on AIX have a 3rd
argument of size_t *, rather than int *.
As our current code uses int * then we get
a few warnings from AIX. I believe POSIX is
going towards a socklen_t data type to fix these
problems but there doesn't seem to be a good
way to autoconf this fix as even if the args
are not correct the compiler just gives a
warning, not an error.
Any good ideas on fixing this in a portable
way ?
Cheers,
Jeremy.
