yes, gmake has no problems with it
BTW the same for atk
BTW the same for pango
BTW the same for gtk

neither make nor gmake has reported any problems with it

automake 1.5 has problems with these two (@STRIP_BEGIN@ @STRIP_END@) (Warnings)
There some other problems automake 1.5 reports for glib. Best you try it
yourself.


problems in pango:
pango/Makefile.am
libpango_1_0_la_LDFLAGS includes $(GLIB_LIBS)
libpango_1_0_la_LIBADD = mini-fribidi/libmini-fribidi.la
the problem is mini-fribidi/libmini-fribidi.la is linked after $(GLIB_LIBS)
you should probable set GLOBAL LIBS to $(GLIB_LIBS) i.e.
LIBS = $(GLIB_LIBS) @LIBS@
fribidi extra objects are linked twice (currently I do not know why)

problems in gtk:
-lpango/-lpangox are linked after glib libraries this can cause some problems
the current linkorder an example:
-lgtk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lpango-1.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lm -lintl
should be something like
-lgtk-x11-2.0 -lpangox-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -latk-1.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv -lm

gtk+ can not be build from scratch on AIX for the following reasons:
* libtool inisits on directly libc linking. To prevent it from doing so edit
  libtool in each package after configure has been run and set the following
  variable to "no"
  build_libtool_need_lc=no
* you should download and build gettext-0.11.1 applying the following patch
  libtool should be modified as well
  the patch an ugly typo:
  replace
  allow_undefined_flag='${wl}-berok"
  with
  allow_undefined_flag='${wl}-berok'
  at least in configure and at your option in m4/libtool.m4
  look in all Makefiles.am for -lc and remove it

anyway.
it builds with one problem
demos/Makefile.am contains
	GDK_PIXBUF_MODULEDIR=$$topdir/gdk-pixbuf/.libs
	should be
	GDK_PIXBUF_MODULEDIR=$$topdir/gdk-pixbuf
the second one is the already reported "==" in pango configure

The build environment:
powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0
CC=xlc_r
CXX=xlC_r
