imho - a lot has changed under the covers with AIX 7.2. Fortunately, binary compatibility works - which is why I expect the AIX 6.1 ksh still runs.
As you say it runs, then suddenly fails.
Have you rebooted, to see if it fails again - immediately? Or does it work for while, and then fail.
Have you compared ldd /usr/bin/ksh-6.1 with /usr/bin/ksh-7.2?
FYI: I recently tested building programs using AIX 7.1 TL5 and went back to AIX 7.1 TL4. The changes in several libraries, especially the additional ones, broke things (in running ./configure e.g., that had worked for years).
I do not have access to POWER7 and later, so no testing with AIX 7.2.
I do want to point out one more thing. Assume 7200-00-00-0000 is buggy. Update to at least 7200-00-01-XXXX. Maybe that cleans up your issue.

Hi, I'm trying to compile a Perl module for AIX 5.3. Now, Perl by default wants to use cc_r as compiler but I only have gcc installed on this system.
How can I get gcc to be thread safe? Or can I use gcc without any options and expect it to behave the same as cc_r? (0 Replies)

endusershell
getusershell(3C) Standard C Library Functions getusershell(3C)
NAME
getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get legal user shells
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
char *getusershell(void);
void setusershell(void);
void endusershell(void);
DESCRIPTION
The getusershell() function returns a pointer to a legal user shell as defined by the system manager in the file /etc/shells. If
/etc/shells does not exist, the following locations of the standard system shells are used in its place:
/bin/bash /bin/csh
/bin/jsh /bin/ksh
/bin/ksh93 /bin/pfcsh
/bin/pfksh /bin/pfsh
/bin/sh /bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh /sbin/jsh
/sbin/pfsh /sbin/sh
/usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/jsh /usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/ksh93 /usr/bin/pfcsh
/usr/bin/pfksh /usr/bin/pfsh
/usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/tcsh
/usr/bin/zsh /usr/sfw/bin/zsh
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh
The getusershell() function opens the file /etc/shells, if it exists, and returns the next entry in the list of shells.
The setusershell() function rewinds the file or the list.
The endusershell() function closes the file, frees any memory used by getusershell() and setusershell(), and rewinds the file /etc/shells.
RETURN VALUES
The getusershell() function returns a null pointer on EOF.
BUGS
All information is contained in memory that may be freed with a call to endusershell(), so it must be copied if it is to be saved.
NOTES
Restricted shells should not be listed in /etc/shells.
