Thanks for testing.
I've just pushed that fix.

Building coreutils-8.4 on a 64-bit AIX 5.3 system using GCC, I get this:

gmake[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/coreutils-build/src'
  CCLD     kill
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_once
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_getspecific
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_setspecific
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .pthread_key_create
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.
collect2: ld returned 8 exit status
gmake[1]: *** [kill] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/coreutils-build/src'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

Everything else builds and links fine. Does the "kill" program need some 
special handling to make use of pthreads?
