Gordon reported this off-list:

>>>> module:

>>>>  getprogname.c: In function 'getprogname':

>>>>  #  error "getprogname module not ported to this OS"

Thanks again for that report.
Here is a tentative patch (let's call it "pragmatic" -- it tests
explicitly for _AIX rather than a feature-test macro like
HAVE_GETPROCS64 and an additional macro from an autoconf test for the
existence of the procinfo.h header).

Can someone let me know if this solves the problem?

I have also pushed a grep commit to make it use the latest from gnulib:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grep.git/commit/?id=4a86a5e728ae0152048dd9a65d681f324c8aea17

With that, building on AIX should at least get past that compilation failure.
