I wonder if this is the problem:

        # More AIX lossage: must compile with cc_r
        AC_CHECK_PROG(PTHREAD_CC, cc_r, cc_r, ${CC})

This code is from acx_pthread.m4.  I figured any OS that required a
separate compiler for threading was really broken but this might be
needed still for AIX.  I hesitated to propogate this into our code
because it would require a new $(CC) for all thread builds and I didn't
want to go that far unless I had to.

If you set CC=cc_r, does it help?
