Following up my own posting:
#I have been trying to build GNU emacs 18.55 on a RS/6000 model 540
#running AIX 3.1. I started with the version on prep.ai.mit.edu, and
#also used the files on byron.u.washington.edu. However, when the
#linking is tone to product the temacs file, the loader gives the
#following error messages, which I do not understand. Can anyone
#provide some help?

Brian Glendenning at NRAO pointed out that there was not a crt0.o file
in the files being linked. The m-aix-3.1.h file from
byron.u.washington.edu that I used had a "#define START_FILES" which
I changed to "#define START_FILES /lib/crt0.o". I also had to comment
out the line of "#define SYSTEM_MALLOC" becasue what seems to be a
logig bug in the GNU Makefile, which gave alloca as undefined symbol.
By making these two tweaks, I was able to get a running GNU emacs.
