Well.. there are issues with that both if you require libraries, and are not certain how the other stuff works. In short, we have to be a lot more careful than this and we can't depend on external libraries.
Ideally, for us to deal with this we'd need an decent AIX running machine with OS and compilers, preferably in Austin Texas - It's something we'd need to spend a little time with to fix up. Is that anything you could assist us with?
