It doesn't work. <sys/ldr.h> gets included while bfd/rs6000-core.c is
being built. It has:

#ifdef __LDINFO_PTRACE32__
#ifdef __64BIT__

/* Use 'struct __ld_info32' when calling ptrace to debug a 32-bit
process. */
struct __ld_info32 {
        __I_FIELDS(__I_INT32,__I_PTR32, __I_EMPTY)
};

#else
#define __ld_info32 ld_info
#endif

#endif /* __LDINFO_PTRACE32__ */

and bfd/rs6000-core.c has:

#include <sys/user.h>
#define __LDINFO_PTRACE32__     /* for __ld_info32 */
#define __LDINFO_PTRACE64__     /* for __ld_info64 */
#include <sys/ldr.h>
#include <sys/core.h>
#include <sys/systemcfg.h>

So, __ld_info32 is defined on AIX 4.3.2 by bfd/rs6000-core.c.

How about an autoconf check to test for c_impl then modifying the
ifdef to #ifdef AIX_CORE_DUMPX_HAS_C_IMPL? This should be trivial for
me to do. I take it I only care about c_impl in struct core_dumpx and
not core_dump?
