	Cool. I don't think anyone's actually tried running ColdSync
under AIX before.

	Bleah. This means that a) AIX doesn't have a BSD-compatible
'install' program, and b) the Makefiles are broken in such a way that
they don't work with the fallback script provided with the
distribution. This is a bug in ColdSync.
	Until this can be fixed, you'll need to specify the install
program on the 'configure' command line. If you have GNU install in
/usr/local/bin/ginstall, you'll need to run

	env INSTALL=/usr/local/bin/ginstall ./configure [options]

If you don't, then use the 'install-sh' script provided in the
ColdSync distribution, but specify the full path to it. Thus, if
you're building in /usr/src/coldsync-2.2.5, then use

	env INSTALL=/usr/src/coldsync-2.2.5/install-sh ./configure [options]

	The problem here is that one of ColdSync's header files
("config.h") has:

	#define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED

whereas /usr/include/standards.h evidently has

	#define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED <something>

If you could take a look there and let us know what the <something>
is, that would help.
	Alternately, you can try

	./configure --disable-pedantic

which will hopefully tell gcc to shut up about this. You can also try
compiling with a different C compiler with

	env CC=/usr/bin/cc ./configure [options...]

but knowing IBM, their compiler is probably just as picky as gcc, if
not more (but I mean this in a good way).
