Thank you to all who answered to my question about GNU Emacs under
AIX-PS/2 which I posted to these groups a month ago.
The crucial point was that the released configuration file for this
system erroneously assumed that the C compiler has signed chars which is
not true for IBM's compiler.
After changing that definition the program could be generated without
further problems.
Another suggestion was to use the GNU C compiler, what I wanted to try
some day anyway, time permitting.
