Problem compiling ESP Ghostscript on AIX

I've now looked at the log in a bit more detail and have found, what is probably the **real** error, later on...

configure:1683: $? = 249
configure:1707: checking for C compiler default output
configure:1710: cc    conftest.c  >&5
configure:1713: $? = 0
configure:1759: result: a.out
configure:1764: checking whether the C compiler works
configure:1770: ./a.out
Could not load program ./a.out:
        Dependent module libc.a(shr.o) could not be loaded.
Could not load module libc.a(shr.o).
System error: No such file or directory
configure:1773: $? = 255
configure:1780: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.


...Again - Can anybody help?

Many Thanks,
