Hi,

I had loads of problems compiling ethereal 0.7.7 under
AIX 4.3.2 with the IBM xlc 3.6.6 compiler.

xlc did not like the C++ style '//' comments when compiling
C code.

I had other problems with things like guint8 not casting
to the correct type.

After fixing a few things, I got things to compile, but
when I tried to run it, I got a coredump.  The stack
trace is:

Segmentation fault in glink.g_main_pending at 0xd1088884 ($t1)
0xd1088884 (g_main_pending+0x80) 800c0000        lwz   r0,0x0(r12)
(dbx) where
glink.g_main_pending() at 0xd1088884
gtk_init_check(0x2ff22b18, 0x2ff22b1c), line 199 in "gtkmain.c"
gtk_init(0x2ff22b18, 0x2ff22b1c), line 423 in "gtkmain.c"
main(argc = 1, argv = 0x2ff22b48), line 620 in "main.c"

I compiled gtk+-1.2.6 and glib-1.2.6 also. 
Any ideas?

Thanks.
