tnftp build fails on aix 6.1 for 2015Q4

[J Raynor <jxraynor%gmail.com@localhost>]

I successfully bootstrapped 2015Q4 on aix 6.1, and now I’m trying to install pkgsrc’s gcc.  Pkgsrc tries to install tnftp as a prereq, but the build fails because the linker can’t find vasprintf.  I’ve included the relevant output at the bottom of this email.

vasprintf only appears once, in ssl.c  If I build tnftp without ssl, it compiles just fine.

I believe vasprintf can’t be found because AIX doesn’t have it.  If I were to submit a patch, should I modify ssl.c so it doesn’t need to use vasprintf?  Should I provide an implementation of vasprintf for systems that don’t have it?
