Compiling Python 2.2 on AIX 4.3.3 ML 8

[Christian Walther]

Hi there,

I need to compile Python 2.2 on AIX 4.3.3 with Maintenance Level 8.
While the configure isn't any problem (using either gcc, cc_r, or
xlC), the compiling process dies with

           ./Modules/makexp_aix Modules/python.exp "" libpython2.2.a; 
 -Wl,-bE:Modules/python.exp -lld -o python Modules/ccpython.o 
libpython2.2.a -ldl  -lpthread   -lm
/bin/sh: -Wl,-BE:Modules/python.exp: not found.

This happens regardless of the environment, wich can be configured to
use IBMs programs, or the GNU stuff.

Did I miss anything?

Cheers
Christian
