I build Python ok on AIX 5.2 with this following GNU configure string:

CFLAGS="-O2 -D_LARGE_FILES" OPT=$CFLAGS LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
--prefix=/usr/local --disable-ipv6

I then also define HAVE_BROKEN_POSIX_SEMAPHORES in pyconfig.h.

Of course, if you want to do a "make test" after you build, you'll need
to run the make on a large file enabled file system or it'll fail.


Good luck,
