[Ecls-list] Building ECL on AIX 5.3

[Yue Li]

Hello,

I'm trying to build ECL on AIX 5.3, and the configuration fails. I've
read the configure --help, and added one option to enable the threads.
The configuration gives the following error:

checking how to switch to text section... .csect .text[PR]

is not valid in the current object file mode.
       Use the -X option to specify the desired object mode.
