I double checked the patch.  Then I deleted the entire source directory 
and recreated it, copied in the patched configure.in, ran autoconf, ran 
configure and then ran make.  Same problem.  Am I doing something wrong?

Here's an excerpt of the patched config.in:

        aix*)           : ${LDSHARED='/usr/ccs/bin/ld'}
                        XLDFLAGS="$XLDFLAGS -Wl,-bE:ruby.imp"
                        DLDFLAGS='-brtl -bI:$(topdir)/ruby.imp -bM:SRE 
-T512 -H5
12 '"$DLDFLAGS"
                        ARCH_FLAGS='-eInit_$(TARGET)'
                        : LDFLAGS="-brtl $LDFLAGS"
                        : ${ARCHFILE="ruby.imp"}
                        TRY_LINK='$(CC) $(DLDFLAGS) -oconftest $(INCFLAGS) 
-I$(h
drdir) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)'
                        TRY_LINK="$TRY_LINK"' $(src) $(LIBPATH) 
$(LOCAL_LIBS) $(
LIBS)'
                        rb_cv_dlopen=yes ;;


Slightly mangled by Pine wordwrapping.  Oops.  What do you think?  Any 
idea of what I should try next?
