(PR#13440) [R 2.8.1 on AIX 5.3] WARNING: tiffio.h: present but cannot be

Why is this a bug in R?

I am afraid autoconf is pointing int the wrong place: you need to 
report this to your OS support, as it is an OS problem.

Dear r-bugs,

With

       AIX 5.3

and

    OBJECT_MODE=64
    CC="xlc -q64"
    CXX="g++ -maix64"

and

       ./configure --without-iconv --enable-R-shlib

the following warning occurs:

       configure: WARNING: tiffio.h: present but cannot be compiled
       configure: WARNING: tiffio.h:     check for missing prerequisite
       headers?
       configure: WARNING: tiffio.h: see the Autoconf documentation
       configure: WARNING: tiffio.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be
       Compiled"
       configure: WARNING: tiffio.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's
       result
       configure: WARNING: tiffio.h: in the future, the compiler will
       take precedence
       configure: WARNING:     ## -----------------------------------
       ##
       configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to r-bugs at R-project.org
       ##
       configure: WARNING:     ## -----------------------------------
