Hi,

i just built  GCC 4.3.3  on AIX 5.3 using the following commands:
        setenv LDR_CNTRL MAXDATA=0x40000000
        ../gcc-4.3.3/configure --disable-multilib --with-gmp=/usr/local
        make bootstrap-lean
        make install

$ config.guess
powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0
Configured with: ../gcc-4.3.3/configure --disable-multilib --with-gmp=/usr/local
Thread model: aix
gcc version 4.3.3 (GCC)

The system is an IBM System p JS21 Blade with AIX 5.3 at the latest patchlevel.
The building c-complier is  IBM xlC 10.1
Make is  gnu-make 3.80

The disable-multilib configure-option shouldn't be necessary, i used it for buildtime- and space-saving reasons. The 'setenv LDR_CNTRL MAXDATA=0x40000000' was necessary to get gcc built (found that hint in the gcc bug database). Generally the AIX default memory settings are too low to build/install the actual gcc-versions. Had to increase the max-data-segment size for the building user and the environment size on the system, too...
