The "xlc" compilation-line above indicates that the compiler options
"-D_POSIX_SOURCE" and "-D_ALL_SOURCE" were NOT used.  I believe this 
caused your problem.

Please try the following steps:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perorm steps 3 through 5 mentioned near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable CPPFFLAGS contains the
        necessary strings, e.g.

            $ export CPPFLAGS='-D_POSIX_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -D_ALL_SOURCE'

        or

            % setenv CPPFLAGS '-D_POSIX_SOURCE -DNDEBUG -D_ALL_SOURCE'

        depending on your user shell.

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 mentioned near the end of the file
        INSTALL.html.

Please let me know if this helps.
