Michal,
I was able to build Stunnel 5.17 on AIX 6.1 using the "build" command, after completely removing the entire section for "-fstack-protector" in "configure" (my "stunnel-5.17.patch" file below). I used the following commands:
mkdir $HOME/stunnel-bin-5.17 gzip -dc stunnel-5.17.tar.gz | tar xvf - patch -p0 <stunnel-5.17.patch cd stunnel-5.17 chmod 755 configure; ./configure --prefix=$HOME/stunnel-bin-5.17 make; make install
However, for 5.18, those same commands (and patch file) no longer result in a successful compile due to AIX 6.1 not accepting the "-u" (Unicode) for pod2man. I looked into 5.17 and it looks like the same Makefiles are used in both (doc/Makefile.in and doc/Makefile.am) so perhaps the top-level Makefile for 5.18 adds the ".pod.8" file to the build process. Removing the "-u" in both files enables the build to complete.
I just tested against Stunnel 5.19 but it looks like the step that ran "pod2html" was skipped by default (i.e., just "make") so I am able to compile stunnel correctly. Thanks for fixing this in Stunnel 5.19! For those that need the .pod.8 man pages on AIX 6.1, you'll need to remove the "-u" in the pod2man command.
Regards, -Rob

Hi Rob,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
I provide pre-built .8.in and .html.in files to prevent the required tools from becoming mandatory build prerequisites. As you noticed, this also helps with dealing with different syntax of different versions of those tools.
I guess your AIX GCC package maintainer might want to either provide the required runtime library for the stack protector feature, or to disable the feature completely. Leaving it broken is not a good idea.
