quoting from that message:

| /checking sys/quota.h usability... no
| checking sys/quota.h presence... no
| *snip*
| 
| (Because, of course, quota.h is in sys/jfs...)
| 
| and this:
| /checking for xlC_r... no
| checking for xlC... no
| /
| and this:
| /checking for flock... no

Please send the config.log file that corresponds to this configure
output.  Due to its likely size, either pack it (gzip or bzip2), or send
the parts until the first few errors only.

Cheers,
Ralf
