Thanks for your help,
I haven't tested with cc_r but with VisualAge C from IBM , and "configure
CC=/usr/vac/bin/cc --enable-thread-safety" works fine.
But when compiling, link edition fails, "ld" doesn't find threads entries
(like pthreads_mutex_lock...).
Each compilation that have failed was launched without any option for
multithreading.
I have tried to launch it with "-lpthreads" option, and that works fine.
When investigating, I have found that AIX5.2 (and 5.3) has a new library
named libthread.a (not present on AIX5.1 where compilation OK) . Maybe this
new threads library introduced for sunOs compatibility disturbs
"configure"?
With "configure CC=/usr/vac/bin/cc CFLAGS="-lpthreads"
--enable-thread-safety", compilation is OK.
I have launched "gmake check" and 1 of the 96 tests fails:

But I think that's not bad.
