The errors you listed aren't related to any code in rssh -- they're
all system specific errors.  I've had reports of rssh working on AIX
5.1, so it may be something funky with your development environment...
OTOH the reports were for older versions of rssh and may not be
current.

Compilers can vary from platform to platform, so I wouldn't be
surprised if IBM's compiler barfs on some particular feature or
other... But it should work with GCC, definitely.  I've taken care to
write the code as generically and as POSIX-compliant as possible, and
basically I think it should just work on any recent Unix system that
has a properly configured build environment...

In any event, I have no access to AIX machines, and I know nothing
about AIX-specific development issues, so there is no fix, and I don't
expect there to be one...  At least not unless someone who is on AIX
cares to track down the problem and provide a fix.
