R devel - Oct 2015 - R 3.2.2 64 bit compilation error on AIX

Dear list,

I'm following the instructions provided here to compile R 64 bit on
AIX 6.1.  I did

export OBJECT_MODE=64
export CC="gcc -maix64 -pthread"
export CXX="g++ -maix64 -pthread"
export FC="gfortran -maix64 -pthread"
export F77="gfortran -maix64 -pthread"
export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6"
export FFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6"
export FCFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6"
./configure
make -j 16

and it errors out at

gcc -maix64 -pthread -std=gnu99 -I../../../../include -DNDEBUG
-I../../../include -I../../../../src/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-I../../../../src/main -I/usr/local/include  -mminimal-toc    -O2 -g
-mcpu=power6  -c gramRd.c -o gramRd.o

I tried going all the way back to R 2.15.3 and I still get this error.
Any suggestions for fixing this?  Thanks.

Please note that if I don't specify those variables, then R 32 bit
compiles fine.  Thanks.

One other note: I'm also using the latest src/main/dcf.c that was
giving an issue on AIX previously; see
[this](https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2015-September/071781.html)
thread.

Thanks.
