Unable to install openssl in AIX due to "cc: unrecognized option" - gcc

Question

So I installed openssl in one of the 3 aix servers but it just wouldn't work in the other 2 servers.
I'm trying to install openssl-1.0.1h on AIX.
Step 1: I ran the config file -
./config -–prefix=/appl/peoplesoft/apache/openssl
Output: a Makefile is generated.
Step 2: run the make command.
Output of command make:
$ make
making all in crypto...
( echo "#ifndef MK1MF_BUILD"; echo ' /* auto-generated by crypto/Makefile for crypto/cversion.c */'; echo ' #define CFLAGS "cc -DOPENSSL_THREADS -qthreaded -D_THREAD_SAFE -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -q32 -O -DB_ENDIAN -qmaxmem=16384 -qro -qroconst -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DAES_ASM"'; echo ' #define PLATFORM "aix-cc"'; echo " #define DATE \"`LC_ALL=C LC_TIME=C date`\""; echo '#endif' ) >buildinf.h
cc -I. -I.. -I../include -DOPENSSL_THREADS -qthreaded -D_THREAD_SAFE -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -q32 -O -DB_ENDIAN -qmaxmem=16384 -qro -qroconst -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DAES_ASM -c cryptlib.c
cc: unrecognized option '-qthreaded'
cc: unrecognized option '-q32'
cc: unrecognized option '-qmaxmem=16384'
cc: unrecognized option '-qro'
cc: unrecognized option '-qroconst'
I don't know what's wrong.
I'm using gcc version 4.2.0 and cc has a softlink to gcc.
Should I try copying the Makefile file from the server where it works?

Answer 1

I'll try the previous comments: gcc doesn't really understands xlc's options, use either this:
./Configure -–prefix=/appl/peoplesoft/apache/openssl -maix32 \
... aix-gcc
or
./Configure -–prefix=/appl/peoplesoft/apache/openssl -maix64 \
... aix64-gcc
Where ... is the set of compiler/linker options you can think of, eg:
-mtune=native -pthread -lpthreads -Wl,-brtl

Answer 2

Open config file , for AIX and locate the "favor vendor cc over gcc"
Change this: (replace cc with gcc for AIX)
if [ "${SYSTEM}" = "AIX" ]; then # favor vendor cc over gcc
(cc) 2>&1 | grep -iv "not found" > /dev/null && CC=cc
fi
to this :
if [ "${SYSTEM}" = "AIX" ]; then # favor vendor cc over gcc
(cc) 2>&1 | grep -iv "not found" > /dev/null && CC=gcc
fi
And rerun your configuration ...
