After modifying the configure script to add support for AIX6 and changing CFLGAS to add CPU type as PPC64 & adding -maix64 flags I am able to compile apache-commons on AIX6 machine in 64-Bit mode using gcc and IBM JDK 7.
But, i am unable to run jsvc to start any service or tomcat as service. I tried to set LIBPATH to include all JVM library locations and did not see any progress.
Below is the error i observed when running jsvc in debug mode.
Attempting to locate VM configuration file /usr/java71_64/jre/lib/ppc64/jvm.cfg

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Shiva
This problem is solved by changing the commons-daemon source code. File "location.c" holds search path of JVM library for all operating systems. I added case for AIX in code with JVM library paths and recompiled code. This solved my problem.
