Bootstrap on AIX 7.1

[Louis Guillaume <louis%zabrico.com@localhost>]

Hi!

Trying to bootstrap pkgsrc-2019Q4 on AIX 7.1. I installed gcc and other 
tools from the AIX "Toolbox for Linux Applications".

Currently bootstrap gets stuck on building "sed", because it can't seem 
to link to libnbcompat.a, which I find strange because that just got built!

Below is the bootstrap command line, output where it gets stuck and 
significant portion of config.log. Also - here's my mk.conf fragment:

---8<---
PKGSRCDIR=              /opt/pkg/src
PKG_DBDIR=              /opt/pkg/.dbdir
LOCALBASE=              /opt/pkg
DISTDIR=                /opt/pkg/distfiles
PACKAGES=               /opt/pkg/packages
WRKOBJDIR=              /opt/pkg/obj

DEPENDS_TARGET=         package-install

# Configure scripts don't always get this right
MACHINE_GNU_PLATFORM=powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.5.0
CC=gcc
PKGMAKECONF=${MAKECONF}

#CHECK_SHLIBS=no
#RENAME=
#USE_GCC3=yes

Any help would be great. Thanks!
