I never managed to compile Sage on AIX or HP-UX, although I got much further with GCC than with the IBM or HP compilers. Essentially the HP and IBM reject all the GNUisms. Although Sage used to build fine on Solaris and pass all doctests, this was only possible with GCC. Now Sun (now Oracle) did produce a compiler with a GCC parser, so it accepted the GNUisms, but used the native back end to produce faster code than GCC. I never tried building Sage with that. I think it is fairly safe to say that you can't build Sage with a compiler that is not in some way based on gcc.
