For  0.9.2, ./libtool --version says 1.5.18

Just did it. It doesn't want to link 'apitest'. Here is what I get:
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: vtable for Xapian::TradWeight
 ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: vtable for Xapian::BM25Weight

This is quite strange because recollindex and delve do link, as do some of
the other xxxtest programs ...

Anyway, this is probably not interesting because I redid the build with
xapian-core 0.9.5 and this goes through normally (this seems to use libtool
1.5.22, and it apparently fixes the problem).

However, make check doesn't pass. There is a core file in the tests
directory.

I'm appending  the output from make check. I'm not sure if it's worth
pursuing the issue until someone actually asks for xapian on AIX ?

By the way, large file support does not work (cstdio does not compile),
this appears to be a known problem of gnu STL on AIX, I don't know if there
is a workaround. I configured xapian with --disable-largefile.
