The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      1999
Logged by:          Seneca Cunningham
Email address:      scunning@ca.afilias.info
PostgreSQL version: 8.1beta4
Operating system:   AIX 5.3
Description:        contrib/spi doesn't receive the configured CFLAGS
Details:

After configuring and building postgres with the CFLAGS necessary to build
postgres using the 64-bit AIX ABI with gcc4, gmake check fails during the
build of contrib/spi due to it not receiving the required CFLAGS.

Sample session:
$ cd postgresql-8.1beta4
$ export OBJECT_MODE=64
$ CFLAGS="-maix64 -Wl,-bbigtoc" ./configure
--prefix=/opt/dbs/pgsql81b4-afilias-AIX53-2005-10-25
--with-includes=/opt/freeware/include --enable-debug --enable-thread-safety
--with-libraries=/opt/freeware/lib --enable-casert
[...]
$ gmake
[...]

The errors from the assembler are the ones that occur when IBM's assembler
is in 64-bit mode and it has been passed output from gcc generating 32-bit
code, its default mode.  This error would not occur if gcc were passed
-maix64.
