================

  AIX, using the vendor C compiler with optimization:

    There is an issue with compiling server/core.c with optimization enabled

    which has been seen with C for AIX 5.0.2.3 and above.  (5.0.2.0, 5.0.2.1,

    and 5.0.2.2 have an additional problem with Apache 2.0.x, so either upgrade 

    the compiler or don't use optimization in order to avoid it.)



    cc_r works fine with -O2 but xlc_r does not.  In order to use xlc_r with

    -O2, apply the patch at 



    http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/patches/apply_to_2.0.49/aix_xlc_optimization.patch



    (That patch works with many recent levels of Apache 2+.)
