I'm posting this report to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org too. I aware the fact
that I posted mostly the same report to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org about two
month ago. Though, I had a mistake on it. I needed -Wl, before -bnoentry
to support gcc.

------------------------------------------------
I tried to build PostgreSQL on AIX 4 and 5 but failed to build libpq.so.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
./configure --enable-multibyte=EUC_JP --with-CC=gcc
make
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
You need to specify -bnoentry option for ld when you build shared library,
on AIX 4 or later. Here is a patch. This works for xlc too.
