Yes, I see. Quite silly that I did not look earlier. The compiler does not define _AIX4 or _AIX3, no idea who thought that. It only defines _AIX, _AIX32, _AIX41 and _AIX43. I am quite sure that all AIX Versions accept the CLOBBER method, thus I ask you to apply the following patch, to make it work. Andreas

CLOBBER does not work with AIX5L, nor CHANGE_ARGV. (SETPROCTITLE, PSTAT and PS_STRINGS can not be used since AIX5L does not have appropreate header files). -- Tatsuo Ishii
