OK, I see that in configure (it's put there by autoconf not explicitly 
by our configuration).

Could you please send me the output from "./configure && make -k" and 
plus a copy of the config.log file (just to me please, they'll be big 
and there's no need to fill the list members' inboxes :-)

OK, I think this means that the configure test for AIX_LOGINFAILED_4ARG 
fails with langlvl=ansi for some reason.

You can use extc89 at configure time with:

CC="cc -qlanglvl=extc89" ./configure

but it would be nice to figure out how to make VAC6 work out of the box.

Was that both warnings or just the "is defined on line xxx"?

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