AIX is not a supported platform yet.  If you tell me which flags (cpic,
fpic, shlib, maybe something extra for producing the main binary) to use
for this platform and the NATIVE compilers, I will gladly tell configure
how to get things right on AIX.

Is it safe to assume that `-fPIC' will do the right thing on all
platforms for gcc and g77?
