RE: [PORTS] AIX-4.2.1 binaries ? more info. PLEASE !

I have used following different configurations for compilation but without
luck. Can someone PLEASE help me compile it.

Version 6.4.2:
--------------------
./configure --with-template=aix_gcc - following compilation error
./configure --with-template=aix_42 - same compilation error
./configure --with-template=aix_42 --with-CC=xlc - same compilation error

postgres.c: In function `PostgresMain':
postgres.c:987: warning: implicit declaration of function `strcasecmp'
postgres.c: In function `ResetUsage':
postgres.c:1705: too few arguments to function `gettimeofday'
postgres.c:1702: warning: unused variable `tz'
postgres.c: In function `ShowUsage':
postgres.c:1720: too few arguments to function `gettimeofday'
postgres.c:1716: warning: unused variable `tz'
gmake[2]: *** [postgres.o] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/src/postgresql-6.4.2/src/backend/tcop'
gmake[1]: *** [tcop.dir] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-6.4.2/src/backend'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Just wondering, why do I still see gcc when I have it configured with
"--with-CC=xlc" ?
Could it be because I am using 'gmake all' and not 'make all' ? I tried
'make all' but got the following message:

wsvr:/usr/local/src/postgresql-6.4.2/src:postgres> make all
You must use GNU make to use Postgres. It may be installed
on your system with the name 'gmake'.

NOTE: If you are sure that you are using GNU make and you are
still getting this message, you may simply need to run
the configure program.

and so, ended up doing 'gmake all'.

Version 6.3.2:
--------------------
And on the same machine i.e. IBM PowerPC with AIX-4.2.1, compiling 6.3.2
gives following error:

./configure --with-template=aix-gcc - following error

gmake -C libpq all
