[Lzip-bug] build issues - AIX and not gcc

[Michael Felt]

FYI: the c++ compiler for vac/xlc from ibm is not c++, but xlc++ and/or 
xlc_r++ (and many more, but I recommend xlc* as the better names to use 
(e.g., cc, c89, c99, etc).

I know (i.e., just read) you are not a GNU project - so that explains 
why the configure arguments are not working.

However, assuming that CXX is c++ when g++ does not work - "is a bug".

And I cannot explain why gnu make is needed - except perhaps .cc might 
not be recognixed as an automatic "source" for .o by POSIX make. (Not a 
bug of yours - just something to be aware of).

Hope this helps!

Michael
