no problem, thanks very much for your help. I'll will run the same tests
on AIX 6.1 / 5.3.3.

Q: Shouldn't configure automatically detect that -lm is needed?

Q: Do you have a glue why dirfd causes problems on AIX 7.1?

I just checked this on AIX 6.1 and there dirfd gets included in the
Makefile...

It's very interesting that M4 1.4.14 passes all gnulib tests an that the
new upcoming
version with the newer gnulib part fails. Currently AIX 7.1 is still in
BETA, so it's
quite possible that there are some bugs present. But despite this fact
the old version
worked better.

On AIX 6.1 the following tests failed:

# grep FAIL make_check.log
FAIL: test-areadlink
FAIL: test-areadlink-with-size
FAIL: test-areadlinkat
FAIL: test-poll
FAIL: test-ptsname  <- need to kill the test
FAIL: test-readlink
FAIL: test-strtod
FAIL: test-symlinkat

Thats the AIX 7.1BETA failure list:

FAIL: test-areadlink
FAIL: test-areadlink-with-size
FAIL: test-areadlinkat
FAIL: test-duplocale <- does not fail in 6.1
FAIL: test-iconv <- did not fail on my 6.1 system, because I use GNU iconv there
FAIL: test-linkat <- does not fail in 6.1
FAIL: test-fchownat <- does not fail in 6.1
FAIL: test-poll
FAIL: test-ptsname
FAIL: test-readlink
FAIL: test-strtod
FAIL: test-symlinkat
FAIL: test-utimens <- does not fail in 6.1
FAIL: test-utimensat <- does not fail in 6.1

If you have a new test version I am happy to repeat the tests.
