That would require that xlc be installed. Neither cc, cc_r, xlc, nor
xlcc (or maybe it was xlcpp?) are available on the systems Brad and I
are using, so that symlink will not work.
As a result, _none_ of these may be remotely considered to be
"universal answers" on AIX.
In effect, there are two models for compiling PostgreSQL on AIX:
a) Using the VisualAge C family of compilers, that get named xlc, cc, and cc_r, and
b) Using GCC, which means the compiler is called "gcc," and which means that xlc, cc, and cc_r should not be
consideredas candidates for command lines.
Introducing threading doesn't somehow make "cc_r" available for those
of us using GCC.
