make issue with xlc on AIX 7.1

Have reduced this down from multiple configure options to disable-all, always get this same error. Anyone seen it? I am able to compile lsof source with no issues to verify compiler is working correctly. bash ./configure '--disable-all' make ... /opt/freeware/bin/bash /mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc/libtool --silent --preserve-dup-deps --mode=compile cc -qlanglvl=extc89 -Imain/ -I/mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc/main/ -DPHP_ATOM_INC -I/mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc/include -I/mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc/main -I/mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc -I/mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc/ext/date/lib -I/mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc/ext/ereg/regex -I/mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc/TSRM -I/mksysb/compile/php-5.5.17.james.xlc/Zend -qmaxmem=16384 -qcpluscmt -DSYSV -D_AIX -D_AIX32 -D_AIX41 -D_AIX43 -D_AIX51 -D_AIX52 -D_AIX53 -D_AIX61 -D_AIX71 -D_ALL_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -O -I/opt/freeware/include -c main/internal_functions_cli.c -o main/internal_functions_cli.lo echo '\ /opt/freeware/bin/bash: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' make: The error code from the last command is 2.
