Would xlc (rather than xlc_r) work as well? I plan to let the
"configure" script check for gcc, xlc, cc (in that order). It currently
only checks for gcc and cc -- but I'm chary about using xlc_r as we
don't use threads.

cc on AIX machines apparently is a pre-ANSI compiler that supports some
IBM-specific C extensions. xlc is the ANSI compiler, and xlc_r is the
same as xlc with some options set for reentrant and threaded programs.
