I know, but this is only a test LPAR with nothing els installed (no
other accounts yet)...
If you execute this under a non privileged user you get:
configure:40991: checking whether mknod can create fifo without root
privileges
configure:41015: cc -qlanglvl=extc89 -qlanglvl=extc99 -o conftest -g
-D_THREAD_SAFE conftest.c >&5
configure:41015: $? = 0
configure:41015: ./conftest
configure:41015: $? = 0
configure:41026: result: yes
