This is the shared library used for testing security key integration,
and it fails because our Makefile doesn't understand how to build
shared libraries on AIX.

You could also configure with either of --disable-security-key or
--with-security-key-builtin which (I think) will skip trying to build
that shared library.

I think this is because you are running the tests as root.  I can
reproduce on my obsolete AIX system here.  I think the test does the
wrong thing in this case (it needs to do the equivalent of realpath on
the expected string).

You can run the tests with "SUDO=sudo make tests" to run most of the
tests as a regular user and invoke sudo when necessary to exercise the
privileged bits.

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