   Yes, that should mostly work. It might be better to simply set
PthreadDraftVersion to 10, which would be more appropriate for AIX 4.3

   This is because dir.mk checks the compiler against "xlC_r", so your
addition of the -qmaxmem parameter breaks the build. Try moving the
option from CXX to CXXDEBUGFLAGS and see if that works.
