with the attached patch AIX 6.1 builds fine, and 5.1 still does so....
(_AIX51 is defined in 5.2/5.3 too! I've not tested 5.0 though which is
why I don't check _AIX50 which is defined in 5.1-5.3 too).

but: 6.1 has the same break point problems as 5.3:

- with no breakpoint before 1st run, break points can't be set later at all

- otherwise break points seem to work
