Using gcc to compile KRB5 1.6 on AIX 5.3

[Park_Richard@blm.gov]

I apologize in advance for my ignorance.

I'm getting the following error when I "make" krb5 1.6 on AIX 5.3:

I note that Lamar Saxon had a similar problem using xlc.  I tried the fix
that Phil Pishioneri suggested in
http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/kerberos/2007-February/011234.html which
was to run configure as:

./configure --without-krb4 --prefix=...  CC=cc LDFLAGS=-brtl

When I try that using gcc I get the error:

# ./configure --without-krb4 CC=gcc LDFLAGS=-brtl

configure: creating cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I've tried various combinations and I still get the same error.  What am I
missing?
