AIX Changes

[Steve Poole]

Hi Goetz,

As we discussed via the phone yesterday I started to do a sanity build with this patch applied.    

One thing I've found already is that the freetypecheck fails to build as its makefile is not AIX aware and tries to use  -rpath. 
Your patch correctly fixes the same sort of problem in Program.gmk   so I assume that either you missed  make/tools/freetypecheck/Makefile  or you have another sort of work-around?
