Not sure if ppl in this thread are still interested. I managed to get gccgo (included in gcc 4.8.4) to work on AIX 5.3. The bulk of the changes are indeed in the xcoff reader as Ian and others had suggested. xcoff writer also has a couple of issues as the default assembler could not understand the generated assembly code as it complained about syntax error.
It also appears that IBM were also trying to get gccgo to work on AIX based on a recent gcc bug they filed. They probably already got it working. Not sure whether and when they would upstream the changes though.
