Got it, but build crashed with the same error:

OK, so we are definitely stuck now. Out of interest, does your machine have a 64-bit processor? Currently nhc98 only works for 32-bit machines.

Yes. However, from the gcc docs: `-maix64' `-maix32' Enable 64-bit AIX ABI and calling convention: 64-bit pointers, 64-bit `long' type, and the infrastructure needed to support them. Specifying `-maix64' implies `-mpowerpc64' and `-mpowerpc', while `-maix32' disables the 64-bit ABI and implies `-mno-powerpc64'. GCC defaults to `-maix32'. In other words, the system is dual-mode and runs in 32-bit mode by default. -- John Goerzen
