It might very well be a bug in your preprocessor or compiler: `$ oslevel 5.2.0.0 $ oslevel -r 5200-04 $ lslpp -l xlC.rte Fileset Level State Description -------------------------------------------------------------------- +-------- Path: /usr/lib/objrepos xlC.rte 9.0.0.9 COMMITTED XL C/C++ Runtime $` [download] From the file README.aix (`perldoc paerlaix`), it says: `At the moment of writing, AIX supports two different native C compiler +s, for which you have to pay: B<xlC> and B<vac>. If you decide to use eit +her of these two (which is quite a lot easier than using gcc), be sure to upgrade to the latest available patch level. Currently: xlC.C 3.1.4.10 or 3.6.6.0 or 4.0.2.2 or 5.0.2.9 or 6.0.0.3 vac.C 4.4.0.3 or 5.0.2.6 or 6.0.0.1` [download] Which is already rather outdated now, but most likely 6.0.0.0 is insufficient and you should up to at least 6.0.0.3.

From the file README.aix (perldoc paerlaix), it says:

At the moment of writing, AIX supports two different native C compiler
+s,
for which you have to pay: B<xlC> and B<vac>. If you decide to use eit

of these two (which is quite a lot easier than using gcc), be sure to
upgrade to the latest available patch level. Currently:

    xlC.C     3.1.4.10 or 3.6.6.0 or 4.0.2.2 or 5.0.2.9 or 6.0.0.3
    vac.C     4.4.0.3  or 5.0.2.6 or 6.0.0.1
