I have tested the build with both compilers gcc 4.2.2 and IBM XL C/C++ 
9.0 on AIX 6.1.
I am planing to release a rpm package of GUILE for AIX so I have to test 
the build with
different compilers to decide which produces the best result :-))

This could avoid some warnings but ... with the warning on the code 
tends to be cleaner.

I will test the new 1.8.4 release and I will make detailed notes about 
all (still ?) needed changes
for AIX 6.1. When I have finished this I will try this on AIX 5.3.

I also can provide build notes for the AIX platform.
