I get the following error when installing ref on AIX:

great so there is hope.

all we need to know now is which #define is needed to get the compiler to include the proper one of those defines.

on glibc/gcc this is wrapped in

/ The ISO C99 standard specifies that these macros must only be defined if explicitly requested. /

if !defined cplusplus || defined STDC_FORMAT_MACROS

on AIX it may be something like -D_ANSI_SOURCE or -D_STDC_SOURCE or -D_AIX_SOURCE

cheers, axel.
