Looks like you've got the compiler flags wrong.  You've got lots of 
"command option * contains an incorrect subargument" messages.  Often it's 
complaining about the letter 't', which I'm guessing is from "-pthread" 
which I'm guessing is your lib specification.  Most compilers I've known 
use "-l" to name a library, i.e. "-lpthread" to specify the pthread library.

Have you others there who are familiar with building programs on your AIX 
box?  Likely they'd know the idiosyncracies of AIX.

Are you _sure_ you need to use xlc_r?  Is that the only compiler 
available?  Elrond, in his comments about build RPMs on AIX made no mention 
of needing/using a compiler other than gcc.
