The compile error you are getting below is due to a missing header.  More
correctly 'configure' has mis-identified that your system has the endian.h
header file.  If you are using xlc for the compiler, then use the
following configure command:

    ./configure --with-template=aix_42 --with-CC=xlc --with-CXX=xlC

Be sure and do a 'make distclean' first!  I just did a build using the
above configure.  Mind you, I'm using IBM's XLC compiler, not GCC (we
don't have GCC on our system).

IMPORTANT: before doing the configure above, change the template/aix_42
file to have the following line:

YFLAGS:-d -Nm70000

AIX's yacc needs a larger memory array to process the parser grammers.  If
you are using GNU's bison or byacc, then don't make the modification
above.

AIX's lex can't handle src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/ecpg.l.  Suggest
you get and install flex instead.

Something else to considder.  I've seen various problems compiling the
C++ stuff and since I don't use C++ I usually configure with
"--without-CXX".

BTW, the output below looks like you used the 'aix_gcc" template, not the
'aix_42' one.  Be sure of which one you are using.
