} Ok; I'll take a look at this a little later..

I've also uploaded just the fix for this one problem to the SourceForge
patch manager:
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=304068&group_id=4068&func=browse
The patch number is 431573.

} The source directory is on a filesystem mounted with grpid so new

Aha.  However, it's really only trying to see whether the setgid bit is
set, not which group owns the directory.  Maybe the "chmod g+s" fails when
you aren't in the group?

} It might help to have some code to test for
} that case and try to deliberately "chgrp $GID <whatever>"

The %prep section should simply always do that chgrp.

} Is there a reason not to put your temporary testing files in /tmp if

There are different problems with Sun's ramdisk /tmp, so there's really
no safe place to put anything.  We're trying to come up with a way to
tell that the build directory is on NFS and selective skip those tests.

} Some more details [about AIX compilation] then:

Thanks again.  I'm going to let Andrej fold this into configure as he's
already been trying some other AIX-related changes.
