On AIX 7.2, in 32-bit mode, with the xlc compiler, there are
  - many compilation errors,
  - a link error in the talkd directory (could be fixed by linking with
    -lpthread). These missing symbols come from mbrtowc.o, regex.o.
    According to the gnulib module descriptions of 'mbrtowc' and 'regex',
    you need to link with $(LIB_MBRTOWC) $(LIBTHREAD).
    $(LIBTHREAD) in fact expands to '-lpthread'.

Log attached.
