It looks like our src/config/shlib.conf recognizes AIX 4 and 5 but not 6
and 7.  The static library support in our build system is not
comprehensive enough to be used as an alternative to shared library support.

It's possible that the AIX 5 support would also work for AIX 6 and 7, if
there haven't been any significant changes to linking semantics since
AIX 5.  So you could try replacing the "*-*-aix5*)" line with
"*-*-aix[567]*)".  Let us know if it works.

(AIX is not one of our supported platforms as listed in
<http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Supported_platforms>, but we are
willing to make some kinds of changes to make krb5 work on it; this
would obviously be one of them.)
