Thank you, this was indeed the problem. I added the needed stubbs in 
gthr-single.h and it now compiles fine. Unfortunately there seems to be 
something wrong with my installation of ld as linking fails with a large 
number of errors of the form:

ld: 0711-252 SEVERE ERROR: File auxiliary symbol entry 1 in object _negdi2_s.o:
         Field x_offset contains 4. Valid values are between 4 and -1.
         The object name is being substituted.

Unfortunately I have almost no experience with AIX. I'll look for a prebuilt 
ld that seems newer than mine to see if this helps the problem.

Thank you for your help.
