Building Kerberos on AIX

Mon May 6 05:44:24 EDT 2013

Thanks Greg for you help. I am able to build the kerberos  1.9.5 for HPUX
but for AIX after
casting sockaddr_storage structures to sockaddr using ss2sa i am getting
the following linker error

Please let me know if I need to do any changes in the makefile for AIX.
