Subject: [exim] AIX Build Notes
Hi

Just a few notes from building Exim (4.44+exiscan) on an AIX (5.3L) box ...
in case someone else needs the info, or in case someone spots me doing
something stupid (I'm new to AIX).

1 .. Change CC to gcc in OS/Makefile-AIX (no cc installed by default)
2 .. Change CFLAGS in OS/Makefile-AIX :-
    1 .. Remove -D__STR31__ (this may not be necessary but it works without)
    2 .. Add '-mcpu=power4 -maix64 -O3'
3 .. Edit src/exim.h and remove the guard around "#define SOCKLEN_T
     socklen_t" ... AIX has SOCKLAN_T defined in the standard headers
     as blank. Yes this should go in OS/os-AIX.h, but the change isn't
     effective there.
