Hey Derek,

Looking at this, it looks like you enter that conditional because
HAS_BOOL is undefined. So it seems that your problems would be solved
of you used '-DHAS_BOOL -Dbool=int'.

I've added a hints file for AIX in 1.5.8, and it would be great if you
could test it and give me some feedback.

Cheers,
jas.
