these symbols are defined by eventlog, which wasn't detected or for some
reason it failed to link properly. Can you check if eventlog was
properly detected and the link command line contained it?

AIX ld is not simple to get on with, extremely fragile. We do compile
AIX binaries from PE though (OSE core + external modules), and I can't
remember any patches that are not on the OSE tree to make that possible.

Must be the compile environment differences. But as I said, AIX is one
of the most time-consuming platforms to get things right.
