Hi Michael,

The problem might not have gone away. I have tested CTDB 2.4 build on AIX
with XLC 11 and it builds without any problem.  John is trying to build
Samba and that is failing.  Question is if waf is adding any extra flags
that prevents the build?

John, what is the exact compiler version you are using? (cc -qversion)
