I believe glib and gtk+ should both be compiled with xlc_r. I haven't
compiled on AIX in a long time, but I think it's because glib is including
pthread stuff, so the re-entrant C library, libc_r, is needed. 

Can you get to http://9.53.35.177:80/techlib/manuals/adoclib/aixprggd/genprogc/multi.htm

I work in Austin, for Tivoli/IBM, so I can see IBM's intranet. If you can't
get to that page, here's what it says:


Compiler Invocation

When compiling a multi-threaded program, you should invoke the C compiler using one of the following commands:

 xlc_r
       Invokes the compiler with default language level of ansi.
 cc_r
       Invokes the compiler with default language level of extended.


These commands ensure that the adequate options and libraries are used to be compliant with the X/Open Version 5 Standard. The POSIX Threads
Specification 1003.1c is a subset of the X/Open Specification.

The following libraries are automatically linked with your program when using these commands:

 libpthreads.a
               Threads library.
 libc.a
               Standard C library


For example, the following command compiles the foo.c multi-threaded C source file and produces the foo executable file:

cc_r -o foo foo.c

See the cc command for more information about C For AIX.
