I have to use cc_r on AIX to enable threads, which is just a disguised cc
that uses a special crt, relies on libc_r.a, automatically links with
libpthreads.a and does some other goodies.

I don't know. I'm now trying with openLDAP-2.0-alpha2 and it's not even
able to find a thread library...

No it doesn't... (I know, I know, AIX...).

Of course stdargs.h does exist. As for portable.h, I'm now stuck before its
