There are 2 issues with AIX for which there are fixes that haven't been
integrated:

1) http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355
loginsuccess() isn't called on AIX an thus failed login counts are never
cleared.  This can lead to account lockout.

I think this is the right fix (but someone else should check it!):
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/attachment.cgi?id=141&action=view

2) http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397
strsep() is in libc but isn't defined in the headers unless
_LINUX_SOURCE_COMPAT is defined. This doesn't affect GCC, only the
native compiler.  Apart from the patch, another option could be to have
configure define _LINUX_SOURCE_COMPAT for AIX.

Apart from those, I've been running recent builds from CVS on my
development systems without problems. I'll re-run the regression tests
on AIX & Solaris and post if I find any other problems.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
