Summary: [ 576396 ] expat 1.95.3 on aix 4.3.3

Initial Comment:
[ 576396 ] expat 1.95.3 fails to build on aix 4.3.3

this patch modifies 'configure' by passing $output_objdir
instead of $objdir to AR

I hope there won't be line wrapping problems,
since upload/attachements don't seem to work

José

Closing this and the related bug report as "Won't fix". 
This definately appears to be a bug in autoconf.  I've
emailed a bug report to bug-autoconf@gnu.org, but I don't
see any way to refer to the autoconf bugs database; the one
link to it I found was stale.

"configure" is a generated file; "configure.in" is where
changes need to be made.  Unfortunately, this doesn't appear
to have a simple mapping from the configure.in file.

I wonder if this is a problem with autoconf not knowing
enough about AIX?
