Thanks for your help.  I think it worked better after I read the 
Misc/AIX-NOTES document.  Apparently one -must- use --with-threads.

I grabbed a bzlib.h from the net and created ./Modules/bzlib.h since I 
do not have root access.  I had to change bz2module.c #include to use 
quotes rather than <> symbols so that it would find the header file.

Another problem with building _codecs_cn.c I will put in another 
subject.  Thanks.
