Hi Daniel,

Building libcurl static is not an option for me, so I cannot pursue that
course of action.
It seems to be working just fine as a shared library on AIX 5.2 as long as
the IPV6 support is disabled.
I would love to help debug this issue with IPV6 making the tests go south,
but I am swamped with other tasks at the moment, so that will have to wait.

Autobuilds for my machine?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Do you mean using my box to host daily builds?
If so, I believe that could be arranged.

Do this after having built curl:

$ cd tests
$ ./runtests.pl 101

It runs only test 101 and shows you details on what particular detail(s)
that failed. Getting such a huge list of failures is quite overwhelming and
I'd rather see that we try to identify the problems one by one instead. This
is not a known problem to me. Unless...

I know there have been problems on AIX when curl is built to use libcurl
shared, as then the test suite goes completely bonkers. It might be what you
experience here too.

Try adding --disable-shared to the configure options and see if it makes any
difference. Tor Arntsen runs autobuilds on AIX 5100-06 and they seem to work
fine. See list here: http://curl.haxx.se/auto/

(If you're up to it, I would not mind some autobuilds for your machine... )

This is good enough!

Thanks for your mail and details. I trust other AIX users will appreciate
it.

Can you check the stuff above to narrow this in a little more?
