Have you set the target to an appropriate aix value?

Can you set the CFLAGS variable to appropriate values
on the command line with configure as in:

    CC=gcc \
      LDFLAGS='-L/opt/sfw/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib -lreadline -lncurses' \
      CFLAGS='-I/opt/sfw/include -O' \
      ./configure 2>&1 \
         --prefix=/etc/amanda \
         --enable-shared \
         --with-user=amanda \

Look through the comments in the ac* files for things about aix.
I see at least on that says you can't use the gnu linker but must
use a native linker.

Are you using current amanda sources (2.4.4)?
