powerpc-ibm-os400?

[Bob Friesenhahn]

I have a potential user of my software who is using IBM as400 PowerPC 
hardware.  The user says that the system is running a version of AIX 
and is capable of running AIX packaged software.  Autoconf says that 
the system is powerpc-ibm-os400 with no mention of AIX.  This causes 
me some concern since if I do some greps through my package's 
configure script, I see 70+ matches for aix systems (probably many are 
from libtool), but no matches for os400 at all.  This causes me to 
suspect that support for this platform may be lacking.  Regardless, my 
package is apparently almost working properly on this platform as a 
static build.

Wikipedia tells me little about this target 
("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_i5/OS";), but it seems that OS/400 
is now called "IBM I".

Does anyone here have experience with this sort of as400 system and 
can tell me what issues I need to watch out for?

Bob
