I got glib built with gcc without any hassle except for one -b bigtoc addition.

Started building wireshark without the GUI.  One hiccup is the configure script found LIBPCAP so it defined 
HAVE_LIBPCAP.  But one file was asking for PCAP_ERROR which is not defined in AIX (this is AIX 6.1).

I pulled down the latest libpcap, built it, and kicked off another try with wireshark.

About the only thing I need to modify is to add one -Wl,-bbigtoc to one of the strings in the Makefile.  I don’t know 
how to do this properly so that it applies only to AIX.

Do you want me to open a bug report?
