Hey Thanks,

With the changes that you suggested I was able to compile
succsssfully. I am running AIX 4.3.3 by the way.

However got such errors while building qmail. There were a couple of
these however the compilation completed successfully and did not error
out.

1500-030: (I) INFORMATION: datetime_tai: Additional optimization may
be attained by recompiling and specifying MAXMEM option with a value
greater than 2048.

1500-010: (W) WARNING in main: Infinite loop. Program may not stop.

Also was not able to install daemontools. Here's what came up ...

package/install
Linking ./src/* into ./compile...
Compiling everything in ./compile...
./compile byte_chr.c
cc: 1501-210 command option Wimplicit contains an incorrect
subargument
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 40.


Stop.

I am no "C" expert so cannot figure out what it means. However here
are the contents of compile byte_chr.c

/* Public domain. */

#include "byte.h"

unsigned int byte_chr(s,n,c)
char *s;
register unsigned int n;
int c;
{
register char ch;
register char *t;

ch = c;
t = s;
for (; {
if (!n) break; if (*t == ch) break; ++t; --n;
if (!n) break; if (*t == ch) break; ++t; --n;
if (!n) break; if (*t == ch) break; ++t; --n;
if (!n) break; if (*t == ch) break; ++t; --n;
}
return t - s;
}
