[Xymon] Problem to compile on AIX 7.1

[Stef Coene]

Hi,

I compiled the client on AIX years ago and use that binary since then.
These are the notes I wrote down. I think you have to switch from IBM 
compiler to gcc in file build/Makefile.AIX:
# Compile flags for normal build with gcc
%CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -O -D_REENTRANT $(OSDEF)%ENDCOLOR%

# Compile flags for normal build with IBM compiler
#CC = cc
#CFLAGS = -g -O3 -qstrict -qcpluscmt -D_REENTRANT $(LFSDEF) $(OSDEF)
