```
After I modified Makefile:

NO_OPENSSL=1
NO_CURL=1
NO_EXPAT=1

CFLAGS = -maix64 -g -O2 -Wall
LDFLAGS = -b64 -lz
AR = ar -X64

Make succeed:

bash-3.00# gnumake
GIT_VERSION = 1.5.2.2
    * new build flags or prefix
    CC convert-objects.o
...
    SUBDIR perl
cp private-Error.pm blib/lib/Error.pm
cp Git.pm blib/lib/Git.pm
Manifying blib/man3/private-Error.3
Manifying blib/man3/Git.3
    SUBDIR templates
gcc -maix64 -g -O2 -Wall  -DNO_OPENSSL
-DSHA1_HEADER='"mozilla-sha1/sha1.h"'
-DETC_GITCONFIG='"/usr/git/etc/gitconfig"' -DNO_STRCASESTR
-DNO_STRLCPY -o test-chmtime -lz  test-chmtime.c
gcc -maix64 -g -O2 -Wall  -DNO_OPENSSL

-DETC_GITCONFIG='"/usr/git/etc/gitconfig"' -DNO_STRCASESTR
-DNO_STRLCPY -o test-genrandom -lz  test-genrandom.c

But install failed:

bash-3.00# gnumake install
    SUBDIR git-gui
    SUBDIR perl
    SUBDIR templates
install -d -m755 '/usr/git/bin'
getopt: illegal option -- d

               [-G group] [-S] [-n dirc] [-o] [-s] file [dirx ...]
gnumake: *** [install] Error 2

Thanks for some help.

Do you possibly have a "ginstall" somewhere in addition to the GNU make?

If so, just make the "INSTALL" macro in the Makefile point to that instead 
of the (apparently totally broken) regular "install" program on AIX.

Maybe it's called "gnuinstall".

That said, the installation is really just a matter of copying, so you 
*could* just replace the uses of "install" with either "-mkdir" or "cp" 
depending on whether it's used to make sure a directory exists, or to 
actually copy the programs.

No "ginstall" or "gnuinstall". I will try compile coreutils-6.9 latter.
