GDB fails to build aix-thread.c on our AiX 4.3.2 machine. I think this
is because aix-thread.c expects lib pthread debug version 2 or 3, while
we have lib pthread debug version 1 only installed on our 4.3.2 machine.
By contrast, we have version 3 installed on our AiX 5.1 machine.
The comment at the begining of aix-thread.c says that it should work on
4.3+ systems... Has anybody been able to build it on a 4.3.2 machine?
Does anybody have something else than version 1 of the pthread debug
library installed on a 4.3+ system? If you have something else than
version 1, you should see something like this in
/usr/include/sys/pthdebug.h:
/* The pthread debug library version number. This is used to maintain
* binary compatibility. The initial release of the pthread debug
* library in AIX 4.3.2, represented by PTHDB_VERSION_1, was a
* technology only release and binary compatibility with it is not
* guaranteed. It is kept in this file for historical perspective
* only.

#define PTHDB_VERSION_1 0xa1c432
#define PTHDB_VERSION_2 0xa1c433
#define PTHDB_VERSION_3 0xa1c434
