This is probably the same problem I ran into on one of our (RPI)
aix machines.  The problem is that /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h does
exist, but it doesn't define __BEGIN_DECLS and __END_DECLS

The following diff should give you and idea of what needs to be
changed:

*** ext/digest/defs.h.orig      Thu Aug 16 03:35:42 2001
--- ext/digest/defs.h   Thu Jan  3 23:23:39 2002
