Error occurs in the while making libmpn, which is the first thing to
be compiled:

libtool: link: ar rc .libs/libmpn.a fib_table.o mp_bases.o add.o add_1.o
add_n.o sub.o sub_1.o sub_n.o cnd_add_n.o cnd_sub_n.o

<clip>

Could you please check the sanity of '.libs/libmpn.a' with 'ar t' etc ?

libtool: link: ranlib .libs/libmpn.a
ar: 0707-108 File .libs/libmpn.a is not an archive file.
ranlib: 0654-601 Execution of ar failed

Using 'ranlib' seems to be vain in AIX :

So this seems to be some problem with the native AIX binutils...
