This could be an option if this one wouldn't have been a bit "ancient".

But I have found this thing beeing the fault:
# if defined(linux) || defined(__convex__) || (BSD >= 199103)
  setenv(var, value, 0);
# else
  setenv(var, value);
# endif /* linux || convex || BSD >= 199103 */

Looks like aix gcc uses the "else" clause and not as expected the "if"
clause. I've just commented the if-then-else out, making shure
"setenv(a,b,c)" is selected. Compilation went fine (except some warnings)
then. Screen is running.

Thanks for the help!
