I am trying to compile perl.4.03 under AIX 1.2.1 on a PS/2 model 70.
I have noticed that various versions of Configure seem to not function
very well under this OS, but I thought I'd post and see if there is a cure.
The problem is, that it doesn't do all the nice lookups like it does on
all the other systems (including AIX 2.2.1).  It just comes back with
[] as the default and some of these I have no idea how to fill in, i.e.
order of bytes in a long, models supported by the C compiler, etc.

Is there something I need to do differently to get Configure to work
on this system?
