uname output: AIX api124 3 4 000039989100
Machine Type: powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0

Bash Version: 2.05b
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
        Bash fails to compile using the AIX native compiler.  Two of the
problems are due to IBM cc not defining __STDC__ and not allowing user
defines to begin with __ .

Repeat-By:
        ./configure 
        make

Fix:
        This is a quick hack that worked for me, but isnt the right fix:
