It´s AIX 4.3.2 
Setting LIBS is required because of unusual library locations.
configure ignores LIBS when generating the chrtrans makefile and the 
generated makefile ignores the LIBS environment variable either. 
Consequently, the linker uses the wrong library when trying to link 
makeutcb and linking fails.
( Comments in other makefiles show that similiar things happen in other 
makefiles with other environment variables ).
