I'll try to help, but I suspect you'll have to figure it out mostly
yourself - I have no access to AIX. Hmm. Isn't gcc 3.x quite old now? I
seem to think I've been on gcc 4.x for quite some time... yes, a quick
google shows that 4.0.0 was released on April 20, 2005. I am currently
using gcc version 4.1.2 on my Gentoo Linux box.

Don't know about the __assert thing, but .isdigit looks like it's the
internal name for the standard isdigit() function, and likewise for
isspace(). They should be in the normal library as standard.

Hmm. Odd.

All I can think of doing is trying to link all the PCRE .o files "by
hand", but if you are trying to make a shared library, that is
complicated. I don't know how it works - I rely on libtool to handle the
detail.
