The prior change had osi_Msg as a macro not a function.  That means that 
the fprintf reference would have been substituted for wherever osi_Msg 
was used.  Assuming that osi_Msg was defined for AIX at all.

The referenced change was intended to fix a problem specific to Linux.  
You might want to revert the change and see whether or not you make 
further progress.
