MIT krb5 1.12.1 configure fails on AIX 6.1 and 7.1

[yaberger@ca.ibm.com]

Hi,

I'm facing a similar issue that was reported by someone else in August 
2013: 
http://kerberos.996246.n3.nabble.com/krb5-1-11-3-shared-libraries-on-AIX-7-1-td38338.html

When trying to configure MIT krb5 1.12.1 on AIX 7.1 TL2 SP3 with IBM XL 
C/C++ 12.1.0.6, the configure command fails:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/vac/bin
gzip -cd krb5-1.12.1.tar.gz |tar xf -
cd krb5-1.12.1/src
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/krb5-1.12.1
...
configure: error: Shared libraries are not yet supported on this platform.

same issue with:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/vac/bin
gzip -cd krb5-1.12.1.tar.gz |tar xf -
cd krb5-1.12.1/src
...
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/krb5-1.12.1 --disable-shared 
--enable-static

The same happens on AIX 6.1 TL8 SP3 with IBM XL C/C++ 10.1.0.19
AIX 5.3 TL12 SP8 with IBM XL C/C++ 11.1.0.16 doesn't seem to have this 
issue.
