If I can avoid it I really don't want to force anyone to use a
specific compiler, and rather like BIND, I want to be able to compile
netperf4 with the "platform" compiler. The idea is to have portable
code. And besides I have gcc exposure for netperf4 already via Linux
and OSX.

I've experimented a bit and found that saying:

CC=xlc ./configure

makes things rather happier trying to compile netperf4 than when it
was I suspect just defaulting to "cc". There were some issues with
DNS defines but I've worked-around those and am now in the process of
learning dbx to debug some core dumps I'm getting.
