You have to find each configure file and, where it has
   *-*-aix5*)   , change that to  *-*-aix*)

Re-run configure, and make.  If it's still happening, something
went wrong - maybe old configuration, maybe missed a configure file.

IBM's implementation of some DNS functions uses a different size
state struct than the include files define, which guarantees memory
corruption when you try to use these functions.  The configure
script forestalls this on AIX 5, should also do so on AIX 4.
