Thanks
I was mostly trying to give Andreas a way to determine what type of
system he has (via kdb).

You are answering a different question. AIX supports building
64-bit executables on 32-bit systems. It does not depend on the
processor.
The question is about bootstrapping GCC. GCC bootstrap wants to
run 64-bit executables during its configuration process. This is
orthogonal to whether GCC or AIX can compile 64-bit executables on a
32-bit system.
The bootstrap wants to run executables corresponding to each
multilib, so one currently needs to perform the bootstrap on a system
capable of running in all modes or restrict some of the multilib
modes.
