I haven't had any luck with the build on our 6000/540. Seems that the
little trick used in config which hides preprocessor directives from
cpp when it really wants to generate a makefile comment:

	/**/# This is a comment

doesn't work on the AIX C preprocessor--it's "too smart" and complains
about an unknown preprocessor directive "This".

Any ideas anyone?
