Well.. I seem to be what passes for an AIX expert here, so...

Note that there's a known bug in the handling of .so format shared libs,
apply bos.rte.bind_commands 4.3.2.6 or later.  This may or may not matter,
depending on how your version of libtool is configured...

Look in configure.log for what caused it to do this.  I seem to remember
a headache about this, but I submitted a patch that *should* have been
in 1.2.8 (and it found posix threads just fine on my 4.3.3 system).

Not your fault.  There's something squirrely under AIX causing it to
coredump there for 1.2.8.  1.2.7 was OK.
