In the emacs-21.4 distro, the configure script guesses AIX 3.2 when run 
on an AIX 5.2 machine.  The problem is that the configure script does 
not recognize 5.x versions other than 5.0 and 5.1.  AIX 5.2 and 5.3 both 
exist, and should be accounted for.  The fix is simple.  After 
implementing this fix, I ran "./configure", with no arguments, and then 
"make", and it compiled fine.  There are virtually no other GNU products 
on this machine (autoconf, automake, etc), because it's very difficult 
to get GPL stuff approved for install anymore.  *sigh*

My guess is that this fix also works on 5.3.  I have a 5.3 box, but it's 
not ready yet for this kind of test.  I'll get back to you on that.
