Local Fix:
As work around, user can create libdb2blu.a as a soft link to 
appropriate file under the installation path for db2start to 
work fine. 
 
If AIX PowerPC version is greater than or equal to " 7 " then 
    # ln -sf (installation_path)/lib64/libdb2blu_s.a 
(installation_path)/lib64/libdb2blu.a 
Else 
    # ln -sf (installation_path)/lib64/libdb2blu_ns.a 
(installation_path)/lib64/libdb2blu.a
