Description:
When attempting to reproduce the build method that was used in the distributed binaries for AIX 5.2, I get the following;

"my_gethostbyname.c", line 74.5: 1506-068 (S) Operation between types "struct hostent*" and "int" is not allowed.

How to repeat:

  CXX=xlC_r CXXFLAGS="-ma -O2 -qstrict -qoptimize=2 -qmaxmem=8192" \

----------------

I'm baffled. The only other clue I get is that there is no xlC_r executable on any of my paths. Is it a requirement? Obviously suggestions are welcomed :-)

trying to verify...

I could not repeat the problem.  I was able to build it successfuly and run make test w/o any failures.  I 
did this using bash with the following env variables:

AUTHSTATE=compat
ODMDIR=/etc/objrepos
LOCPATH=/usr/lib/nls/loc
LC__FASTMSG=true
SHLVL=1
SHELL=/usr/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/vacpp/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/mysqldev/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.
NLSPATH=/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N:/usr/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat

Also, xlC_r was located in:
/usr/vacpp/bin/xlC_r

This problem was caused by having Visual Age C installed, but not having the Visual Age C++ environment installed.

After Visual Age C++ was intalled, the problem went away.
