[Python-porting] Porting to AIX 6.1

Greetings.

I'm trying to get Python v3.4.2 built on AIX 6.1, but am running into some
issues. At link time I get a slew of:

ld: 0711-596 SEVERE ERROR: Object Python/ceval.o
        An RLD for section 2 (.data) refers to symbol 0,
        but the storage class of the symbol is not C_EXT or C_HIDEXT.

followed by:

make: The error code from the last command is 12.

Has anyone successfully built 3.4.2 for AIX? In their Linux Toolbox for
AIX, IBM only provides RPMs for <=2.6.2 and 2.7.5. I need something a
little more current.

Here's my environment

OS level = 6100-09-03-1415

Compiler = IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V12.1 (5765-J02, 5725-C72)
Version: 12.01.0000.0000

LD = ld: LD 1.65.6.5 (3/24/14)

Fileset which provides 'ld'
bos.rte.bind_cmds         6.1.9.15  COMMITTED  Binder and Loader Commands


./configure --prefix=/opt/freeware/python --enable-shared --disable-ipv6 \
            --with-libs='-lbsd -lXext' --without-gcc \
            --libdir=/usr/lib64

Any hints/tips would be appreciated!
