AIX again

This is really weird. configure fails to find boolcodes when they are
available. Everything looks proper:

                *boolnames[], *boolcodes[], *boolfnames[],
                *numnames[], *numcodes[], *numfnames[],
                *strnames[], *strcodes[], *strfnames[];

nm /usr/lib/libcurses.a:

boolcodes            D      42624     152
boolcodes            d      76556       4

config.h:

#define TERM_H_NEEDS_CURSES_H 1

I do not quite understand nm output; it is synmbol/type/value/size where D
means global data and d means local data (static?). Size is very funny, I
cannot imagine where this 152 comes from.

Any idea? Oliver, can you give a hint?
