Config failure with 3.8p1 on AIX

Hello,
I have noted the following  failure in the configure script for 3.8p1.  The
apparent error is
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
configure:5911: cc -E  conftest.c
"configure", line 5908.10: 1506-296 (S) #include file <zlib.h> not found.
configure:5917: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
#line 5907 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <zlib.h>
configure:5936: result: no
configure:5941: error: *** zlib.h missing - please install first or check
config
.log **
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The configure command (cc -E) is being invoked without  the option
-I/usr/local/include.

This is not a problem with my previous (and current) copy of 3.7.p2. (I
reconfigured, and regenerated for SSL 9.7.d ).

I can bypass the problem by setting CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include but
wonder if I have
missed some change to instructions since I have to do this with 3.8p1 but
did not for 3.7p2.

The environment is
AIX 5.1 ML005,
VisualAge/C/C++ v5 (fixes current as of 11/03)
Zlib 1.1.4 (zlib.h is in /usr/local/include)

configure options are ;
./configure --with-tcp-wrappers --with-prngd-socket=/var/run/egd-pool

Has anyone else seen this ??

Thanks ,
Steve
