I am trying to build Qt 4.8.3 on AIX 6.3 with following ./configure options : -no-script -no-multimedia -nowebkit -no-scripttools no-phonon, and during the build process I get the following error :

I am following the instructions here : http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/5.0/platform-notes-x11.html for the IBM xlC compiler. What does the error relating to the thread local storage mean ? Any help would be greatly appreciated . -
I never tried building Qt on AIX, sorry, but you might want to look into a commercial license. Digia actually lists AIX 6 as a secondary supported platform, so I am sure they will be able to support you in your endeavor.

Have you tried building with -qtls?
