[FFmpeg-devel] Problem configuring in AIX 5.2

[Greg Trigg]

I recently acquired an IBM RS/6000 AIX workstation.  The version of AIX 
I have is 5.2.  When running configure, I have an 'ld' problem.  I 
noticed someone had a similar problem with Solaris 10.  The AIX 'ld' 
does not understand the flag --warn-common.  The end of the error file 
shows this:

BEGIN /tmp/ffmpeg-conf-9089-307414-1958.c
1 int main(){
2 return 0;
3 }
END /tmp/ffmpeg-conf-9089-307414-1958.c
gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o /tmp/ffmpeg-conf-17416-307414-11471.o

gcc -Wl,--warn-common -o /tmp/ffmpeg-conf-31953-307414-10860 
/tmp/ffmpeg-conf-17

What does --warn-common do and do I need it?  Are there any other lines 
in configure that I need to modify?  Has anyone ever compiled this on 
AIX.  I really want to use this workstation for converting video.
