Sure:

$ grep -R "eff_uid" *
examples/rlfe/pty.c:extern int eff_uid;
examples/rlfe/pty.c:  if (eff_uid && access(TtyName,
R_OK | W_OK))
examples/rlfe/pty.c:      if (eff_uid &&
access(TtyName, R_OK | W_OK))

Looks to be just in the examples code.  Which is why not
compiling
those allows readline to install.

Yeah, I see that.  Ideally that's what I'd like is to get
everything
to install on AIX with as little hacking as possible too

In France, there's a popular saying about Linux that
essentially translates as:
"Linux? You can get a less powerful system, but it will
cost you more."

So it's trying to import this symbol from somewhere else.  I
think the
AIX linker is the first here to come to the conclusion that
it doesn't
know where from.

Can you try the attached patch?  It works at least on
Darwin, and I
guess on AIX it should too.  If not, can you give me the
head of man
getuid on your AIX box?
