Under AIX, it is critical that you define an envirnment variable
indicating whether you are building 64 or 32 bit libraries, and
this definition must match what you pass to configure via the
-b flag. You need to define the environment variable
OBJECT_MODE to either 64 or 32, depending on which of
these you pass to configure using the -b flag. So, if you
are building 64-bit libraries and you use a bash derivative
shell, you would issue export OBJECT_MODE=64 before starting
the ATLAS configure step. On the other hand, if you use a csh
derivative shell and want to build 32 but libaries, you would need
to issue setenv OBJECT_MODE 32 before the build step.
