bug#30718: coreutils-8.29 compilation failure using xlC on AIX

[John Wiersba]

Thanks, Paul.  Any comment on the other two parts of my bug report?

As an additional comment, it took me quite a while to find working values 
forCFLAGS, AR, and LDFLAGS.  I'm not sure how you might accomplish it, but it 
would be
friendlier if, once it's determined that gcc is not available and xlC is 
available,
a reasonable set of default options were supplied, so that every user of xlC 
doesn't
have to rediscover some set defaults which allow the build to succeed.

Finally, I'm attaching the test-suite.log indicating a couple of failures and a 
few errors.
