Hello,

we run into a linking error when building samba 4.2.12 on AIX 7100-02-04-1341 with gcc.

./configure --prefix=/appl/samba
make

and then when linking libtdb it failed.

I just found the same error reported to samba-technical@:

https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2014-March/098566.html

I'm aware of comments from bug #10270 (summary: no AIX build.samba.org system and samba developer don't have access to an AIX machine) but maybe a samba guru still can help and reporting these problems is still OK.

Thanks alot.
