OK - Here is what we get from a fresh complete build with no errors 
during compilation.

A very minor tweak to the try script was needed for AIX as xargs doesn't 
have the '-r' flag. Unsurprisingly the script doesn't get very far as 
autool is segfaulting on startup.

bash-3.2# src/try
src/try: line 42: 8257546 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) 
./augtool --nostdinc "$@" < $AUGCMDS
